Hi guys. I just received my first BP/first snake yesterday. I've read everywhere that you aren't supposed to handle or bother a new snake at all for a week. So, am I not supposed to clean the enclosure during this time? Or is it safe to move the snake to a holding area while I switch out the substrate (paper towels) and water dish in there if he makes a mess? I definitely don't want to stress him out any more at all.

Also, how soon should I attempt to feed him? I was going to wait a week but I caught him relaxing inside his warm hide today with his head poking out of it. He retreated back inside after he noticed me however. Does this mean he's already getting comfortable and looking for food? Would this Sunday be too soon to try? He's looking a little thin, I think he already missed one feeding this week from being shipped, so I would like to get a meal in him.

Thanks
