haha...so basically I worried for...ummm...pretty much nothing? LMAO!

I honestly did not think BP's were the "soaking" types - other that for a shed or mites blah, blah, blah.

So if I understood correctly - as long as the substrate remains dry, even with the constant soaking I shouldn't have to be concerned about scale rot?

I did attempt to feed it Tuesday of this week and it refused. Tried again on Wednesday and it took a small mouse like a champ So I did the happy dance - other half thinks Im a nut
I plan on feeding every 5 days - would it be wrong to feed my other 2 bp's on that same schedule (until the tiny thing puts some weight on)? They eat every 7 days. The male is about a year old and usually eats 2 large mice each feeding and the female is about 6 months old and just switched from 2-3 small mice to 1 large each feeding.

Any input would be appreciated
