WOO HOO! First feeding went very very well. He took right away to the frozen thawed mouse. It was pretty rank when it came out of the thawing bag. Anyway, my bp is quite happy in his tank and probably going to hang out in the warm side for a while. Temperatures have been fixed, just need to get the light on a timer now.
In the meantime, Nebula (my cat) is quite put out with me, and has been searching for that yummy mouse that suddenly disappeared when she got shoved into the bedroom.
