well i got my first baby bp 3 days ago and she already stopped roaming around as of yesterday. at night she comes out a little bit but not a whole lot. you guys think its ok to be handling her yet? i mean she seems relaxed and isnt cruising the enclosure. her temps are good humidity is fine. i feel like she has adjusted. can i hold her now? lol
edit: also...she is staying in her hides the entire time, im assumeing she is happy?

Wait that first week young apprentice.

If you want her to settle in and EAT ... lol, leave her the full week. I know, it's exciting, but in the long run, you will probably save yourself some grief if you just leave her be until a few days after she has her first meal for you.

That's what I did when I got mine. Left it alone for a week, then fed it in it's enclosure. Waited 2 more days and then started handling. Within a couple weeks of handling he started being somewhat ok with being handled. Still hasn't gotten fully comfortable which I've heard can take a long time.

Good luck.

Yea what everyone says leave it alone for a week and it should open up to you. Remember it's a baby so when you handle don't handle for very long even though you should not be holding an adult for more than 20 minutes. Give it a nice meal and then it will most likly be you BFF! Lol
