So i have picked up a lovely BP, called Rocky, from a local aquatic centre. His temperment seems excellent and was amenable with me transporting him from the bag he came in to his new enclosure.
Once in he explored his new home however he retired to one of the many hides in the viv (on the warm side) and hasn't come out since. I know he has been out at night as leaves and debris have fallen in the water bowl he has.
I am keen to handle him in another week (so he would have been with me for just over 2 weeks) to get used to handling him (my first snake) and also for him to get used to me.
My question is if he remains in his hide and i would like to handle him is it ok to remove the hide and then pick him up? I dont really fancy waiting until 2 in the morning to have to handle him; but i also dont want him to feel unsafe with me going in and removing his 'safe' space!
Not sure if i am over thinking this! Also need to figure out what type of mroph (beyond pastel) he is as the aquatic store didnt know.
Edit - to include a pic of Rocky.
