    New BP's

    hello
    so me and my gf got our bp's today a male and a female from royalconstrictordesigns. The male is very calm but the female seems to strike at anything she sees... I'm guessing this is from the shipping and cause its a new enviroment. Het tank temps and humidity are all around perfect so im guessing i just have to let her get settled? And she just pooped earlier today so im guessing she was fed within a couple of days when i got her?

    Yeah, just let her relax for a week and don't try to handle or feed her, and she will probably be fine And even though the male seems calm, do the same with him as well. Every new snake should be given the chance to relax and adjust, especially if they've been through the shipping process.

    And yes, it sounds like she was recently fed, so you definitely shouldn't have to worry about waiting for a week (as hard as it is)
