The tough part now is the waiting a week to let him acclimate. Next weekend I will go for the first feeding. In the store he was eating every Tuesday but i will skip this Tuesday to let him get settled. Does that sound OK? They said he was a good pinky eater so i will see next weekend. This is my first snake. It's very hard to not go in there and hold him but i will wait!!!
Congrats .You have the correct idea on the time to settle in and when to attempt his first feeding.Word of warning make sure that 10gl does not have any small gaps that he can escape thru.All small snakes tend to find little gaps and escape.Yea we will let you slide on the pics this time lol
