    New to the snake world and your forum

    Hello all, I guess the title says it all. I just bought my first BP and I'm pertty stoked. She/He is about 5 months old and I'm loving her/him, if you couldn't guess I don't know the sex yet. Any info or links you could give me to read up on them would be great, I have been reading lots of books and picking the reptile guys brain about BPs.

    Welcome Shark Bait. (I feel like watching Nemo all of a sudden ) My biggest thing about owning a bp is to make sure you make their environment as close to perfect as possible. They are an ectotherm, so require the right temps to maintain a healthy life. Don't measure the temps and humidity with those dials or little strips. (they suck) Go for a digital thermometer! Make sure to provide two hides one on hot side and one on cool. No touching after a feed for 48 hours. And here's a link to the caresheet.

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand
