i just got my first snake, a bp, today in the mail. put it in its tank and he settled right into his warm hide after a few hours or trying to escape

got a nice fat mousie from petsmart and dimmed the lights, put it in the cage with him. after about 10 min he pokes his head out of his hide, tounge flicking up a storm and strikes home. thought the mouse might be a bit too big(smallest they had at the store) but he gobbled it right down, damn those heads of theres really expand when they eat! then crawled around on his rock then back into his hide, almost couldnt fit through the hole he got so big!

anyways just really surprised that he ate the FIRST day after being shipped, sems most people have to wait a week or two to settle in and still have problems even after that.

thanks for all the help guys
