Hello everyone! Before I even start I must say that there is so much awesome info on here!!
So after a lot of research on snakes, I got my 9 year old son a BP for his birthday, with the clear idea that my husband and I would be helping him care for it. So we got if from a pet store, they told us it was captive born/bred and it had eaten. (We saw the care sheets) They had 4 babies there and we got to choose from the 2 that had eaten. My son held him and loved him. We don't know if it was a boy or girl, we forgot to ask. So we brought him home and set everything up. We don't have an UTH but from reading this I will get one the next time we are in the city as we live in a small town. We keep check on the temp and humidity.
Now for the questions. So the general rule is not to handle them for 7 days right? Well the pet store was feeding them every Monday or Tuesday but we brought it home Friday. So do I just wait to feed it, because we will feed it in a different container? Also, Tony(his name!!) looks like he is going to shed, at least I think. Eyes kind of looked bluish and I am pretty sure the belly was pinkish at the pet store. We can't see his belly now because we don't want to handle him yet. So should I give it time? He is also not much for curling up into a ball, mostly he assumes a "strike" position if our hands are too close. Could he be aggressive? Sorry about the rambling, we are such novices!!
