I got my first BP today, so I wanted to make sure I knew some more.

Is it okay if your BP won't eat for the first few days of being in a new cage? I have him set up in a (temporary) 20 gallon tank. I'm using cocunut fiber bedding with a large water dish and a hide. I'm keeping the heat mat on one side at 90 degrees farenheit and the other side around 80 with a UVB bulb. I've been misting a few times a day when I see the hydrometer is low, I heard it needs to be at 60%.

Am I doing everything right? I currently have around 9 reptiles, but have never owned a snake.

Also, don't worry, this pet is a "suprise", but I have done lots of research throughout a long period of time. I've always wanted a snake, and I'm aware of their life-span. I'm so excited to get started on the snake side of reptile-keeping! Any tips for new owners would be appreciated
