Hi everyone! I'm new to snakes but not new to reptiles...I've had many in the past and currently have a zoo at home. Being a vet tech doesn't help keep my pet population from growing LOL. I have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 5 bearded dragons and my new addition is Severus my little bumblebee BP! I'm so excited he's finally here and sooo beautiful. When I opened the box, I seriously thought WOW..this doesn't even LOOK like a BP! LOL. He's from American Made Exotics and is 85 grams right now. I have to find out the age, I forgot to ask his hatch date (any guesses?)
He came yesterday, and is scared to death of me. He's been hanging out in the warm side's cave. I did pull him out once to show my boyfriend, and placed him by the water bowl. He drank for quite a long time and then explored a little. I want to watch him and hold him so badly but I know I have to wait and he's really stressed. Do you think I should offer him food this weekend? His last meal was at the breeder about a week ago. I just don't know if he's too stressed to eat, but I guess there's only one way to find out
These are some really crappy pics, they don't do him justice. I didn't want to scare him anymore than I had to, so I just snapped these really quickly with my phone. Feel free to critique the cage or anything. I could use any tips from anyone. (The dome fixture on the left is a ceramic heat emitter, and the strip light is not in use, was an old BD cage).
