    Is my BP going to be stressed out after I move him into a new tank?

    I'm going after work today to get a new tank for my snake because I have him in a 10 gallon which is kinda small. But my only concern is if he is going to stress out after I move him later. I've had him for about 1 month and a half now and when I put him in the 10 gallon he didn't seem to be bothered by anything but I wanted to get you guys input.

    Any tips are appreciated, thanks guys!

    I moved mine in the beginning and she was fine. It might be a little stressed out, but as long as everything (temps, humidity, appropriate hides, etc) is set up properly it shouldn't be a big deal. Just leave him alone for a bit just like if you were just bringing him home for the first time.

    Okay great! Hopefully he eats again tomorrow. He's a good eater so I'm thinking he should be fine to eat.
