Another new dad worry post; first BP

[Bogertophis]

I appreciate all of this info. My breeder didn't really say much about the hides I made previously other than covering the enclosure with cardboard to mitigate that they were see through.

But I'll order these ones right away for now, it appears the small sized ones are about the same as what I have now but with the proper design. I have some bigger ones I had made that have a more proper doorway and are larger with a low ceiling, but they won't fit inside the enclosure without taking up most of the space and leave no room for a water bowl.

I'll come back and respond to the food related stuff in just a bit. About to head out the door to go walk my partners dog and run errands. I appreciate you greatly.

EDIT - Sorry one quick question before I go - Do you still feel like she'll be okay without a meal between now and when these arrive in the mail? I imagine they'll get here soon since I ordered my new thermostat from the same place and it's saying it'll get here tomorrow. I just don't want to starve her. She doesn't look malnourished to me or anything but still.

I would guess that the breeder didn't even use hides, just had them in a small rack (privacy from the surrounding sides of the rack).

Before you order, measure roughly the size of this coiled snake & add some space- you can always pad a hide that's a little too big- just something that will work for a while. BPs are snakes that often like "back pressure"- so they know predators can't sneak up on them- they feel safe.

Yes, she's FINE without a meal for now- she just refused a meal & she's still not settled in. See my previous post. And whenever a snake refuses a meal, always wait about a week before offering again, because constantly offering food just stresses them into refusing longer. Snakes are not designed to eat all the time- fasting is what they do for survival, & they're good at it.
