I finally got my first bp home yesterday. He's my first herp too. He's beautiful - nearly 2 feet long when fully outstretched. I've posted a couple of pictures.

I got him set up in his viv (pictured) and expected him to go for the nearest hide for some security. Instead he was very active for the first 5 or 6 hours, exploring every corner of his new home. Later last night though, he found his way into that little cave you can see on the right (cool) side and I have not seen him out of it since. Unless he's been out while I wasn't watching him, he's been in there for about 17 straight hours or so. Is this normal behaviour while he settles in? I'm starting to get a little bit worried.

Also, how long should I wait before I feed him? According to his feeding record, he's been eating every 4 to 5 days, and the last time he ate was October 3rd, 6 days ago now. Should I leave him settle in his new home for about a week before I attempt to feed, of should I try to feed him now as he is due a meal?
