    BPs on TVs

    Well I picked up my first BP today at a reptile show in Madison. I got a normal two year old for 50 bucks. When I put him in his cage he explored for a while, checked everything out, but now he's chilling in one of his hides. I'm going to let him be for a couple days then try to snap a few pics. He also had a bit of unshed skin on his neck and one eye cap that i'm going to try to remove next time i take him out.
    I'm really excited...

    btw...do you guys keep your accuright thermometers (the one with the indoor/outdoor reading) upright?
    after 2 minutes in his cage he had knocked it over...so now i just have it laying on its back so i can still read the temps and humidity.

    ok...enough blabber...just wanted to share my excitement with you
