Today is the day

Today is the day, I finally got my BP! It's a 7 month old male "normal." He's really good looking and has a great personality. He isn't very shy apparently, when I brought him out he wanted to move around and explore. When I put him in the tank he wouldn't stop moving trying to find a way out though, getting up on the humidity gauge and pressing on the screen. haha I guess I just have to give him time. Also he's just coming out of a shed, has a little left on him but for the most part is shiny and clean

He slithered into my pocket when I got him out. His head is in the circle




I'll get better pics up soon, just feel like he needs to be in his tank as much as he doesn't want to. And no name, yet... I probably broke a cardinal rule in not naming him

Re: Today is the day

Thank you, he sure is He is acting the opposite of how every website/person has told me they usually act. Very active, constantly looking for ways to get out. He was never aggressive or nervous when I was holding him. is it okay if I take him out and hold him for a little bit, or should I leave him in?

Re: Today is the day

He'll be active for a bit until he learns his surroundings. Once he settles in, he'll behave more like a BP at his home. I'd leave him alone for a few days, at least until he's eating for you. But, if you wanted to hold him a bit the first night, I think that would be ok.

Thanks, I got him out for a little while and he seemed to enjoy it, he was very curious about everything Would it be fine if I get him out tomorrow? My Dad is coming over and he has always loved snakes.

I don't want to stress the little guy out so I might just base it on how he acts, any thoughts?
