New bp parent!!...pumped but almost as nervous as I was with my newborn daughter!!..

[Plite]

How damp should the tank be? I just got him today, n forgot all about the humidifier, my friend which is experienced said to spray him down, but didn't specify to what extent. I'll be out tomorrow first thing after mass to get it along with other decor for his home, he found his hide n just chills there now.

lets see, he is in a 10G tank, small heating pad (which is too small, but should do for a day or two) a lamp, water bowl, n hide. So it's kinda bare, but will be provided w/ more security SOON!!!...

i got five more days till his next feeding, I got his last three fed records, pinky 2x n then a rat pup. The breeder said at their age they transition from live to frozen well. But the food vendor had another opinion, he did offer tips to help if he didn't take right away.

now, I've read once you get him home to wait two days before holding, and then I've heard to wait a week, I can be patient, but I wanna hold him, I did let him sit in my lap on the ride home w my palm over him n then let him wrap around my hand, after a lil bit he wanted to slither around, either to run n hide or just feeling out the environment, tho I'm sure the prior

and lastly (for now) how can I tell if he's stressed, not content, hungry ect...

ive read a bit, n watched a lot, but nothing does the trick like one on one communication, so any advice beyond my requests are anticipated and appreciated, as well as any scolding along the way, I'm new and have no issues being corrected for the health of Gabriel, I want him to live a full life, of course...
