Anxious new BP mommy

[redshepherd]

Do you think I should wait to feed her live? Or try tonight/tomorrow night?

When I was handling her, it was when I was transferring her to a plastic tub to try feeding. Maybe I should try feeding her in the enclosure next time? This whole subject has different opinions too, so I'm not sure still how what's the best option.

Her hot side is is warmed by the heat lamp underneath the water dish. Because it gets chilly where i'm staying, I also have a UTH regulated with a thermostat on the cool end, so it doesn't get too cold.

Yeah, 100% feed in the enclosure. There's no benefit at all to moving them outside to feed, except for potentially stressing them out and putting a young BP out of "food mode". Honestly, the other opinion is moot. Look at breeders who have a hundred or hundreds of snakes. None of them take each snake outside to feed, and everything is just fine.

I'd wait a 2 or 3 days before trying again. For a baby, it's always better to let them chill for a few days in between any activity.
