Hopefully this Friday he'll eat.

Thanks guys. I feel better now. I guess its just because he's such a little guy. I don't want to hurt him and I don't want him trying to eat me everytime I get near him. Not that im scared of it, but I'd rather not have one that strikes at my face every day, haha. He's back in his hide. I'll probably check later today to see if there are any bubbles and strange sounds coming from him. His humidity has been a constant 60% except for this past week when he was in shed and it was at 65%-68%.

Oh, while I'm at it...how do you wash a bp? He smells like a rat died on him and I've washed his tank but I think he needs a little help. I know I should wait so he's not too stressed, but I'm not sure how to go about it?


Yay for 30 years of snakehood
Sink, tub, pan, just make sure the water is luke warm and don't have the water running. The vibrations from running water seems to really aggrivate them. On a side note...I VERY seldom rinse my snakes off.
