So I am going to feed my BP tonight for the first time. I know about feeding them in a separate tank, and they shouldnt be handled for 24 hours after eating, but what about before? Should they not be handled at all the day they are fed, or is just in the hours before they eat? just a general question for my knowledge. i havent handled him at all today and dont exactly intend to until its time to feed him, i'm just asking questions as they come to mind.

Also, the pet store was feeding him 2x a week, but everyone i asked and everything ive read says they should only eat once a week. so i skipped the next scheduled feeding from the pet store. So i'm wondering, do they have a particular behavior they exhibit when they are hungry? How do you know when to increase their portions? would you increase the number of mice you feed or increase the size? Osiris is about 15 inches and i am feeding him 1 small fuzzy because thats what the pet store fed him.
