welcome to the forum!
def looks like a Butter/Lesser.
trust me: please allow the lil baby some peace and quiet to get adjusted to their new home. 15 min/day is a lot for a new keeper and a new baby in a new home. also don't be surprised if they don't eat for you right away; it's very common for new beeps.

Re: First BP
Thanks for the reply,
Yeah, he/she ate a frozen mice today, not at the first attempt, i had need to put the mice head in boil water for 4-5 seconds and he took it right away.
Now he/she will be all alone for the next 48 hours at least

Re: First BP
Remember not to handle him for a couple of days after he eats though. Regurgitation is really serious for snakes so you don't want to do anything that might cause it.

Re: First BP
Of course
Don't worry, he/she ate that mice at 8:30AM and now the snake will be all alone In his hide for the next 48 hours at least
Plus, i don't know a lot about morph so if you say it's a lesser-butter i'm trusting you haha

it's a Butter/Lesser. i'd stake my reputation on it.
Butter and Lesser are the same gene, but they were proved out by different people who named them different things; same gene, different lines.

As the others have said, let your snake acclimate before doing any more handling. As a first time keeper it's important to trust experienced keepers.
Let your snake settle in for a while, not 48 hours. I highly suggest holding off on handling until your snake has eaten three consecutive meals without refusal.
BPs can be very finicky eaters and get stressed easily. You have 25+ years to handle your snake. Let it acclimate. Your snakes health should be prioritized over your desire to handle an animal that doesn't want to be handled in the first place.

Re: First BP
Thanks for replying.
You are completely right, I was saying "at least 48hours".
Now I will of course wait until he ate three consecutive meat. That way it will be safer for his future.
Appreciate all the tips love this forum so far
