I've had him about 2 weeks now. So no where near long enough to expect him to be my BFF lol. And I know that. I thought about the hungry thing. So I fed him (Along with the others) He ate great. As for my feeding schedule, I tend to feed all my snakes whenever they will eat honestly but atleast 4-7 days. I do down size their food down the next step to compensate fo not always waiting a week. I have move them to separate containers for feeding a swims.

The rock was a heat rock, But is not longer I cut the cord. I wont run a heating pad, or a heating rock from the stories I've heard. Im sticking with lights and tape.

So far I made little progress, But I am very happy with how its going. I held him 4 times in the past 2 days. Each time I open the cage and "pet" him a little then pick him up. he balls up and I just cup my hands and allow him to do the work and moving. I will gently rub my thumbs along him. And within seconds he will move after doing that. he goes up my arm, or just striaght out. So I slowly raise my free hand onto him so he can keep moving. And we do this for about 15 min. each session. The first 3 times being handled he was near perfect. No strikes, just the occasional jump from him if he see's something he doesnt like. Those are usually really short jumps then he is back on the move. This evening we went alittle longer he seemed like he was ok. The last minute or so He snapped and got my pointer finger twice, The second time he grabbed and for a very brief time he wrapped like he would a rat. So I figured he is hungry Its been 6 days since his last feeding since my "rat guy" isnt free for me to swing by. I held him a few more second then put him up. Because I dont want him think I will leave him alone if he bites.

So for my feeding schedule.... All my BP's get rats ever 4-7 days and the time depends on my rat supplier. The I got 10 BP's who will eat issue free. Then 2 pastels I have are picky...
