First feeding success! Now what?

Haha I wonder too! Mine still ducks out of sight if he spots us peaking in on him whenever he pokes his head out of his hide. He does not like knowing we are around one bit, so I'm hoping the board I have covering the glass for him offers additional security and privacy.

When you found the suspected poop, did it give off any smell? I'm not sure how well the Reptibark will block out smells.

For handling, I often heard the time of day doesn't really matter (or is atleast debatable), but more of the surrounding environment being quiet and comfortable. Don't quote me on this yet! This is just what I recall being told/advised so maybe someone can clarify? Looking forward to seeing how your little one grows! It will be fun comparing our boys and seeing how they are similar/different as the weeks go by Let us know how your first handling session goes!

I think you'll find that in the next week or so your BP will start showing more of himself. Maybe becoming a little more confident in showing himself. At least I feel like mine has. Still a little shy when it comes to eating. I guess that's a good thing because the last thing I wanted was an aggressive bitey snake.

As for the poop smelling, I didn't really smell it. I was replacing my reptichip because of the high humidity issues and stumbled on a little black chunk of it. I'm hoping there's nothing hiding under the hide.

As for handling during the day, I've heard you need to make sure the snake knows your there because they could be sleeping and get startled by your presence. I'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully followed up with pics.
