Oh good! :gj: Sorry, I missed or forgot that...lots going on right now & didn't have time to go back thru this thread. Just wanted to make sure, as it's a mistake made often around here. ;) You & your snake get an A+.

He finally let me get him out without striking today!!! Quarentine is so much better with a snake! Is he considered a baby still? I've seen the terms baby, juvenile, sub adult and adult but haven't looked up the ages. I guess I could just Google it, huh? Lol. Thanks again darlin'!

So, I made a humidity box for him. After he ate yesterday, He hug out in his hide for a while but has been inside humidity box since. It's so cute, wherever he goes, he pushes some of the substrate and sphagnum moss into the entrance (as to "close the door"). I have the humidity box on the cool side. Should I move it to the warm side? I put it on the cool side so that it didn't dry out as quickly. Should I move it to the warm side?

OH!!! Also, There was a dark grey rat in with the ones I purchased this time and he WOULD NOT eat it. I warmed up a white one and he got it in less that 45 seconds of me dangling it in for him. Anyone else notice their BP preferring one color over another?

If he's happy in the humid hide where it is, I wouldn't move it...or slide it midway between cool & warm sides. Cute that he "closes the door". :D

And yes, I've heard of snakes, usually BPs, that for whatever reason reject certain colors of rodents. Possible causes are that the different color one smells different (might be from a different source, different feed will affect their scent), OR your snake had a "bad experience" (a bite while eating live for a previous meal) & has learned to associate the color of the "offending" rodent as being dangerous. Let us know if he confides in you? ;)
