Thanks everyone for the advice, last night he was all over the place having a good old explore and today he's not hiding inside the cool shelter but actually curled up with his head just outside.

So I have a few other queries I'd like to ask you BP veterans:


1) During the set up of the viv i placed a single row LED strip that set to blue and not very bright (Purely for us to see in). Is LED lighting OK or does this irritate the snakes? I don't have it on often at the minute as I'm unsure of it.


2) Taking temperature readings.. currently i am using a thermo gun for surface readings (as i have been for my bearded dragon for years) or should i be looking at air temps? given that i'm using a ceramic for heat?



As always the info seems to be 50/50 so I am just curious what the consensus is here as I want to try and get everything perfect for both the snake and my son.


Thanks again for your time
