Hey all,
You guys have been so great in the past on info for all of my dumb questions, and here is yet another. I just got a little retic in on Tuesday, and she is 4 months old. SHe is currently living in half of a boaphile 421D until she grows a bit and then she will get the full 4x2 until shes ready for her 6x3. I will be leaving her alone for a week to settle in other than water changes and maintenance. I went in to change her water bowl because she dumped it today and she bit me. Im not totally worried because shes new, but I did not pick her up after she bit me. I want to keep handling to a minimum. So hopefully I didnt already show her she can bite and get away with it. I have a hook and have started tap training, temps are 90/78 respectively. Humidity is a steady 65%. Substrate is paper towels and I am currently not offering hides as ive had great luck with no hides. So besides tap training and proper temps/humidity, is there anything you guys do retic specific for new babies coming in? I guess maybe Im just looking for support in hoping she will be a docile snake. I want the best for her and for her to be calm and approachable. Thanks guys!
