    Red face glad to see she is coming around

    so i have been letting my bp settle in for about a week and some days now and she seems to be doing good.the reason why i say that is because at fist she was kinda scary and stuff and tonight i went to change her water and give her a light mist so i took her out for a min or two and she crawled around like she was calm but she is still not good with sudden movement.but other than that she is good.she even gave me a kiss on the jaw.im going to try and feed her 2morrow night.i pray she takes.wish me luck

    Hi,

    You would have a better chance of her feeding if you had listened when we said don't handle her.

    I hope she still eats for you but if she doesn't leave the danged snake alone until it has.

    i havnt tried to feed the snake yet.i messed up the first time.i know not to handle a snake befor feeding.im going to try to feed later in the evening.i dont believe handling her for a min or two will hurt anything.the first bp i had i let settle in for 2 days and it ate just fine the 3rd.i beleive she will be ok.

    When I got my new one, I let him be for 8 days and he wouldn't eat but he was also a bit nippy. So I decided to start handling him for a few days to get him more comfy with me (even before he ever ate) and on the next feeding day I offered a rat and he gobbled it up.
