Hi nice blood thereThat bowl will get tipped over very easily I would suggest a square type or heavy type of bowl that has more of a base , also bare in mind bloods love to soak in the the water especially leading up to a shed so best to provide the largest you can manage in the enclosure without taking over the floor space.
that enclosure will be too small pretty soon they grow fast, go for something longer and a bit more shallow in terms of depth IMO. Also a hide is a must to reduce stress especially if there is a lot of traffic where it is kept. Bump the humidity up pre shed time to assist in the process. Get it on rats ASAP if not already.
They are pretty vocal so dont be alarmed if they hiss and puff when you take them out and I suggest you take them out regular as a youngster as you want them well handled by the time they are an adult trust me.
Very nice snakae though congrats they are great snakes with their own characater and amazing eyes that follow you around .
Also best method of sexing is probing but you need to get some one ( breeder or vet etc ) to do it for you if you dont have experience doing this. The colour should be at its peak by around 3 years old.
snakey.
