    Just got my new BP

    I just got him and put him in his new tank, I kinda figured he would go right for a hide, at least within a couple hours, but he hasn't. Is this normal???

    Re: Just got my new BP

    Yes, it's completely normal. He's just stressed out from all the new smells and new environment. Give him at least a week without handling him. Just give him fresh water and clean his cage if needed. I also, would not try to feed him until that week is over too. He could refuse if you try too soon due to stress. Did you take any pictures before you put him in his new home? We love pictures!

    Totally normal. Sometimes it can take a few days for them to find their hides and start using them. My theory is that they're checking things out to make sure no other animal has laid claim to the lovely little burrow before them.


    Congrats on getting your new friend! Where da picture???
