    BPs aren't the most aggressive (confident) snakes to begin with, which is why you need to minimize distractions & things that may go wrong when feeding them. I'd continue to avoid any handling & interactions- they need to focus on "being snakes". Hang in there.
    I felt awful luckily it was the humid hide that’s plastic and not one of their rock ones :0 awwwwww haha
    Next week I’m going to just put a lamp on with just enough light so I can see and see if that helps im not going to try handling or moving them into bigger enclosure until they are on regular feeding routine just means I have longer to get more goodies for the tank!
