Quick update?! Can't wait to read your long detailed updates. I'll need my pipe and slippers.
All kidding aside, that's all great news. You're doing a great job. I'll just say don't give up on the blue bowl hide so quickly. My Children's python ignored his sky hide for the first month, maybe two. Now, he uses it all the time. Changing up your enclosure is a good thing. It keeps snakes stimulated, but don't do it too often. It takes them a while to fully appreciate the enclosure as it is.
Oh! And start a progression thread for him where you can post periodic updates. It's a convenient and organized way to share with the community how he's getting along.
