Welcome fa1321tx- you've got plenty of great suggestions so far, so all I'll add is that ANY snake will escape if given the chance, so don't use his "past behavior" to predict the future- just don't give him an opportunity.BPs are generally very chill snakes & do not pose any danger to humans...but as you know, snake-haters (& "ex"s) will never be convinced anyway. It's awesome that he's used to eating f/t rats, but I'd give him some time to settle in anyway without handling him- snakes know they're in a new location, & that can be scary for them. We're very glad to have you join us & look forward to hearing about your new snake adventures.
