Obnoxious newbie questions.

Apparently a hamster bite is much worse then a BP bite haha (i have been bit by a hamster not my BP yet though) so you've nothing to be scared of!

if he does act aggressive towards you or anything like that... do not put him back straight away because then he will start to know that acting agressive towards you will make you leave him alone, so in a way be authorative but gentle

I have heard this about keeping him out even if he does bite- thank you. I definitely don't want to get him into that habit.

Since he has been so mellow thus far, is there a chance that he will stay that way his entire life? Do snakes have an "adolescent stage" when they become a little harder to handle (like dogs do)?

And I hate hamsters. I've been bitten by them before. I can't stand them.

Im like that with all amimal though an initial nervousness is NORMAL.

I tend to agree with this statement.

Now about feeding most bp ownerss prefer to feed ratts due to more nutrotional value. I would maybe try rat pups they have tons of nutrition and will help him grow. Then you can move up in size ifwhen needed.

Noted! Are african soft furs any better than regular rats? I will be breeding them come September and will have plenty available for the snake.

You need to find out his weight like everyone else said before feeding your BP you don't want to feed to little or to less.

I put this in the first post but I think it was too buried in text. He weighs 254 grams
