Had my bp 2 mos yesterday. He is young and about 2'.
I was not smart and didnt know about this forum so I bought my snake and cage at once and it took me about a month to get everything just so ie temps etc. During this time he did feed no problem but he always stayed in his cool side hide would only come out when hungry. I handle after about 2 weeks but not much.
So I got the temps and humditiy and everything just prefect and about 2 weeks later he has his first shed which went great , came off in one pc. which I now have hanging up on the wall sortof like a proud parent does with babies first shoes .he fed again great.
Well it seems after that first shed and feeding now which he is seeming to even have bowel movement regular because I feed again Mon and he poo'ed Thurs. ( only the 3rd time since I had him.)
Now he spends time in his warm hide and cool hide ( he never went in his warm hide until he shed now uses it all the time) and now he is starting to really come out more and play and hang out. He has started to swim in his water ( he puts his head and neck all way in the swims under water but the bulk of his body is out of water then he will climb up cage and run the rest of his body thru. seems he likes to dunk his head, go figure!
I have been handling alot more the last 10 day s also trying to get him use to it.
Do you guys think he is finally settleing in and feeling comfortable and this is why his behavior has changed so much??
Also I wrote under the bp bites topic about our adventure on Sunday night
Sorry for such a long post but I was looking to see if you guys think everything is alright or if there may be problems
Sorry just a worried newbie parent
