I've been a member for years, and check in off and on, but six snakes later, never actually acquired a BP.
Chester (a beautifully patterned normal) landed in my lap yesterday morning. Needed a home ASAP. He is in a plastic shoe box with a warm water bottle in it. I have a temp gun and a remote probe thermometer, so that low tech option will work for a few days. Heating pad and Herpstat ordered and on the way.
Hatched maybe a two weeks ago? Forgot to ask for date - will get the date, and don't know if he had his first shed. Previous owner went through a lot of mice trying to get him to eat, but no luck. He does have a good strike response, but his aim isn't there yet. He weighs 64 grams.
I am surrounded by mature colubrids, but I feel like a newbie.
