hey yall, ive been reading alot of different post here and now i think im even more confused than when i started . so heres some of the things i hope yall can help me with .

1st - why does everyone say to leave your snake alone for a cpl weeks and to not feed it when u first get it . ours seems to have no prob being held and crawling all over us, we fed a frozen the night (feb 19th) we brought it home cause the guy at the shop said it didnt eat last time cause of the shed. and then it ate again on (feb 23) both times seemed very hungry and grabbed the fuzzy very quickly.

2nd - is it a absolute must to not bother after eating ours dont seem to mind it either.

3rd - the whole heating and lighting thing has us confused cause different people say different things. we have a 55 gal with an big uth on one side and use a white heat lamp during the day and the red at night. the screen top has been mostly covered my alum foil (like i read in one of the post) and we are currently using the old green astro turf think we are gonna switch to cypress though. have 3 hides , 2 10 in water dishes . our accurite is currently reading 92.5 under the lamp side and 82.0 on the uth side. with only 35% humidity which was higher earlier today. does this seem like a good set up so far , other than the hum?


our little one seems to not be stressed about the size of tank or anything it will lay out in the open as well as its hides . im not sure but it seems like we got a very unusal snake

anyone have anything to help us out ?


p.s. sorry for the wierdness of this post just kinda typing everything in my mind right now lol.
