Hello,

I say "my" BP, but he's really my husband's and I get to borrow him sometimes.

Here's the pic:



If he looks a little stressed, it's because he is brand new and we were transferring him from his transit container to his new home and couldn't resist getting a couple quick pics. He explored his new surroundings for a while and possibly into the night (we were sleeping), but has since settled into one of the hides and has been there all day. I hope he'll settle in nicely--the breeder fed him a week ago, and I'm wondering whether we should try to feed him tonight or whether we should wait a week? Is there anything to lose (other than the cost of a thawed mouse) by trying?

About us:
We've both always loved snakes, and dh finally decided he was ready for one this past weekend. We found a great breeder (actually, a couple who have hosted shows on Animal Planet--how cool is that?) and obtained the 1 1/2 year-old male ball from him last night.

I've learned a great deal from browsing this and other forums and sites, and am very excited about our new pet. We also have pet mice (I know, strange, eh? The mice are mine, and they're actually quite nice pets as many who have bred feeders probably already know--mine will *not* be food nor bred for food, lol), a cat, a fish, and two children who also love snakes.

Anyway, I don't have any questions yet, but I'm sure I will. Just wanted to say hello, thanks for letting me join (dh may join later too, lol), and this is a great group!
