Awesome!!!...I did check him this morning, uncovered the tank n turn the lamp back on. I held him in my palm for a bit, to help warm him in case he got a lil chilly, then sat him in my lap, which after this his breathing settled a lil, so when I saw him breathing like what I considered a moderate pant could just have been him being startled. And he seems to be pretty content with me.

im headed to get a humidifier, n possibly another heating pad, n a digital thermometer. Plus some other stuff the decorate his home with.

he isn't scheduled to eat till the 19th so I may try and see if he will take a f/t pup a day early, if he doesn't take after a few attempts I'll wait till the next day and try again, I'll cave after two or three days n pick up a live pup.

also, do you guys travel with you BP?...if say you would be gone for a few days plus..
