This will be the longest week of your life :P

Quick question about feeding. The person who had him before me fed him live and I really don't wanna do that. Is it usually pretty hard to switch em to F/T?
I suppose I should wait until the week is up to try and feed him.

Just curious how long you researched before getting the snake. The reason I ask is because it seems that a lot of people's excuses for bad husbandry are that they are 'new to snakes' or that they don't have as much experience as the veterans of this site..

Why can't people follow your example and actually do research before jumping in to a new animal? I can tell you have done your homework and props for making a tank that large work. :gj:

Now just don't let us catch you saying you're throwing another one in there too because it's lonely. :O

It depends on the BP. My pastel was being fed on live and had no problems switching back and forth. You can always give the F/T a whirl and if it doesn't work, then you can try live and slowly work your way to F/T

I have switched both mine with no problems. Every snake is different so you never know till you try. And yes, wait a week.

some times they do research there is ALLOT of bad info floating around out there, and ignorant employees of chains stores with the display of bad husbandry when most new comers purchase there snake = allot of mistakes at first.

I've been reading about em every night since about a week and a half ago. And this was coming from practically zero snake knowledge. I didn't look into switching types of food because I had originally planned on getting a hatchling and feeding it f/t from the start. The guy who gave him to me asked me if I wanted another, but I've read enough to know two together isn't for a beginner, if ever. To me, it seems too easy to just get another tank for another snake...
As far as doing research goes, it just seems obvious when it comes to a long term commitment to not get all caught up in the "OH ITS SO CUTE, IM TAKING IT HOME NOW!" mentality. Less stress too

Thanks for the comments :D

It's ok to lift up the hide to see if he's doing ok, right? Once a day or something...

Great job! and congrats :), After the week is up try a f/t but make sure it is thawed/warmed enough. I keep one of guys in a 40g long, it was the tank that came with him..her and have never had a prob with temp/hum and I only use 1 uth, but I'm in so fl so that helps alot.
