Lol thanks guys....I did it backwards mostly cause the snake kind of just got left at my house, haha....did not really have a choice. I am currently using paper towels as a substrate, just so I have something....I have a hide set up on the warm side, but he is staying exclusively on the cool hide. In fact, I haven't seen him leave it for about 36 hours now, although I have been working/at school. I do know that my brother came by my apartment yesterday and was handling him, and supposedly he was very active with my brother. Is it normal for a BP to stay in his hide for so long, or can that be an indication of a problem?
