you can feed it inside it's viv... it'll feel much more safe that way. some people prefer to use a feeding box but it's not necc.

my bp - dexter is just starting to explore his viv at night and i've had him since nov! i hold him about once a week, maybe twice max and when he wants to go back into his viv, i let him.

last night we went to hold him and he wanted back in right away... and then when i closed up his viv... he slithered around it for about an hour... hanging off stuff and seemed to be enjoying himself.

best of luch with your new bp and don't be afraid to ask questions... there are lots of experienced people here!
