HI!!! I am new here. I've read quite a few threads during my research and browsed through pictures. This is not our first snake. We also have a normal BP that's about 2 years old that loves to eat.
For starters, here's my new baby. I got him/her/it for Christmas as a gift from my family. Of course I was a dummy and didn't know some of the questions I should have asked like... oh... is this a BCI or BCC, etc. It really doesn't matter to me because I love "him"! The striking tail colors and pink drew me to him and his sweet disposition won me over.So, what do you think? He has, and yes I counted, 4 peaks. He is also about 24" long. I still need to weigh him.
He seems to be adapting just fine. Easy to handle, ate his first meal on day one, and has already urinated and defecated.
Now to ease my mind... no matter how much research I do I can't seem to find out what "normal" behavior is. I will find him in a bitty little coil, all stretched out across the bottom of his tank, kinda lounging on top of his hide, and his favorite thing that bothers me... he likes to remain up on the side of the tank like he's waiting to be taken out. He doesn't always do this. Most of the time its only after I put him back in his enclosure. I am of course like any new mama and am constantly worried about health, is it too warm or too cool, is that normal?, etc. He is a very curious and engaged little guy and putting him back in his home is always a bit of a struggle. "NO!!!! Don't put me back."
