    Jonah, I saw your request for the link right after I posted that. :) Gen, good luck on the timing! Might be easier just to take him in for a checkup and bring the fecal sample back when it's provided. It sounds like Norbert is probably fine, and we all know you got him from a very good source. :)

    Hi Barl! Welcome to the forums! Feel free to start new threads too...that way your questions don't get lost in the crowd. :)

    Your bp sounds like a laid back, easy going kind of snake...which is not at all uncommon for the species. The true test of how well it is settling in will be whether or not it eats. How long have you had it? Have you tried feeding it yet? What is most often recommended is to leave the snake completely alone for one to two weeks after you've brought it home, except for offering fresh water as needed...and then try to feed an appropriately sized prey item...preferably pre-killed or frozen/thawed. Don't start handling the snake on a regular basis until it has proven to be a good eater. Even if they don't appear to be acting defensive or afraid...there's really no way for us to know how stressed out it is feeling except by the way it feeds.

    Sounds like a cute little booger! Hope to hear more from you and see pics of your new friend sometime! Again...welcome! :D
