Hi, I just got my BP not to long ago, the pet store said that he had been fed in the last week. Circumstances forces us to handle him the day we got him but he was very okay with it. Since he took so well to handling we continued to handle him for the next two days. On the second day I got him a better hide than the one my friend gave me, it had two hides and a branch to climb up. Suddenly he would not leave it, we thought it was because he liked it but honestly it seemed abnormal. Every other day he was curious and liked to poke his head around the cage and climb on thermometers. Then today he did not move at all. I got worried and thought that maybe he was hungry. I fed him with the cage covered (He rejected the mouse when we had it exposed) and now he seems to be active again. Is this normal?
He is my first snake, I want to make sure I get things right.
Also I hear menu people say they only handle their snake one or twice a week, is it okay to handle them more?
Also, also, his humidity was too low (aquarium tank, heating pad, aspen bedding, and a heat lamp) so we started using coconut fiber. Now the tank is too humid. Any way to fix that? We are getting an infrared bulb to replace the heat lamp but i'm not sure that it will help.
