I think he meant he did it because he didnt know better.... I didnt much about BPs till I found this forum.

I handle my snake the day I got her (normal female) from a local private exotic pet store and everyday after that, and I fed her 2 days after. She attack the mouse within 5 secs. She had eaten 4 days before that. And she has been a vicious eater since I have her, but by some weird contrast, she is also very nice and not very shy, she has never show any signs of agression.

After I now know more, much more about BPs, I got a male pastel about 2 weeks ago. They are almost the same age if not the same. same length. He was very thin when I got him. He came in the mail so he was a little shy and shaken at first. He has settle down now, but as for personalities go, he is not as friendly as the normal and he is not as vicious when it comes to eating, and he is a bit shy.

What I am trying to say is that every snake has its personality and while some things hold truth in this site (example: temperatures, meal sizes), some things are just standards (like how often to feed your snake), and you need to adjust to your snake as you see fit.
