@Redshepherd Thank you so much! That really helps me relax and understand better handling. I had no idea about the yawning or periscoping! I really hope she keeps it up though because the yawning is precious, and when the periscoping isn't completely stress induced then that'll be adorable too<3 I wish I had a scale to weigh her on, I should really look into one but the man said she was easily being fed fuzzies on a weekly basis so I'm hoping she doesn't give me any struggles.

@Debohra Oh wow, thank you! I was really worried I might hurt her if I didn't follow the every wednesday feedings that they'd been giving her but, a week is the kind of structured "this many days" answer I really needed. Everyone else keeps telling me I'll just know based off her personality but I just don't have the experience for that kind of intuition I don't think. And I don't plan on handling her any more at all until she's well digested her first meal, and people who have access to her enclosure now know that too.

Another question. Does she need really special humidity? I keep getting 50/50 answers of no and yes. Her humidity is currently VERY low at just 24% and that worries me a lot but at the same time we didn't even watch the humidity on the reticulated python's enclosure when I worked at the reserve so I feel completely in the dark despite research. Even my python care pamphlet told me something obscure.
