    the key to getting a new bp is just not messing with them for at least a week some say 2. if you put him in a tub right now and left him alone in there for 2 weeks and only checked on him every 4 days to make sure he still has water. i think he will start to thrive much better than if you waited to move him. i just got a ton of young balls in and set them up in tubs and they are all doing great.
    once again this is just what i would do. the choice is yours and yours alone. :sunny: :)

    Whoa! That's a small cage for a 999 gram ball python. :P I guess they don't mind (like boas might)?
