Good to know - Thanks for the pointer!

It is recommended not to handle your BP until they settle in which should take about 2 weeks or so. Most go off their food after a big move so it tends to be unusual for a BP to eat straight after getting it. DO NOT handle him for a few days after feeding as this could cause him to regurgitate his feed.

I guess we just lucked out with Boston (our Bumble Bee) because he ate that hopper no problem with in 24 hours of us having him We haven't handled him since his feeding last night. Today hes just been curled up (sleeping I think), in the corner of his tank, in open view outside his hides. Hoping that not a sign of something that Im missing. He looks pretty comfortable but then I get to second guessing myself and worrying about every little thing :/

Excessive roaming is usually a sign of stress, BP suffer from anxiety and or agrophobia in large spaces which is why many people keep them in small rubs. In the wild they will often be found in a tiny hiding place, only coming out at night. It seems that his viv may be to large for him so go down a size, a BP only really needs a viv half - 2/3rds their length but babies will only tend to need small rubs.

I didnt want to upgrade to different tanks so I figured I could get the one that would fit him as an adult. Rather then upgrading I was thinking that can add some decorations to fill it up a but more and hopefully not look so intimidating to him.

I hope this helps

Absolutely does! Thank you for the reply
