New BP - First Week Questions

[ckuhn003]

My bp wandered a bunch during the first couple weeks I had him (at night of course.) Now that he seems more settled in, I rarely ever see him! They say a hiding ball python is a happy one. I know the wait can be excruciating, but, as mentioned before, you will have many, many years with your noodle! Also, when you do finally get to start handling him, start out slow. Only hold him for maybe 15 minutes max, maybe a couple times in between feedings, so you can build up his trust. I still have a hard time putting my little guy back!

Good advice. I must admit I'm still a little nervous and fearful reaching in and grabbing him so hopefully that will subside over time.
