    My new BP

    I am new to BPs and I just picked up my first one! He is an VPI Axanthic het Albino. He has been a very fussy eater so I am hoping he will eat for me soon (haven't offered food yet since he is still in the settling in phase). He also is a shy boi, pooped on the car ride home and yesterday doing a spot check of his water startled him so he pooped again. Also when I do spot checks, he starts to breathe deeply if he is cruising outside of his hide!

    Pics from the car ride home. He was born in Aug '18 so he is six months old, 121 grams.

    Question Re: My new BP

    Thank you! Right now I am in the stage of wait am I doing this right? Is this behavior normal,lol. He is in a one tub rack with heat tape and I have an Acurite and temp gun. His tub is a 28 qt Sterilite and actually is the same system the breeder uses. He was offered rats at first but his taste has leaned towards mice so trying to get him on rats and then hopefully f/t. He has hides and clutter in form of a fake plant that is very leafy and he really seems to enjoy hiding in that. The only info I don't have on him is his shedding history.

    Welcome! Be careful with Axanthics, they are addictive. I started out with one about a year ago and have three now!

    You have to post pics of your three! I had a really hard time deciding between a black pewter, my snake, and this gorgeous normal. I love the Axanthic's headcap and mine has a white belly that I adore.
