Hey hombres, so I posted in the intro forum, said I'd post here with pics of my buddy Stubbs and would love to but hes currently sleeping in his new log that he seems to looooove.
Anyway this is my enclosure....

I have given him the hot/cool side gradient, water on the cool side. Hot side is at 91F cool is at 84F. At night I switch the lamps off and the temp gets to about 80F on both sides. I placed a ceramic pad heater on the warm side next to his hide just in case he got chilly at night. Humidity is sitting at just below 60% with 2 heat lamps and a screen top, gotta love basements. I bought him a UV Lamp as well but heard it doesn't really matter.
He is very friendly. Ive had him home since Sunday night and he was crawling around on my chest and around my neck the first night I had him out. The next day I attempted to feed him and he ate without problem, just some dangling and he gobbled this pinky right up...

Very odd because from what Ive read here it takes a week or so before they adjust and eat, but I think he trusts me already and loves to be pet/wrap around my hand and stare at me.
Anyway, since he is sleeping I figured a pic of him the day I got him home would suffice, ignore the tacky water bowl for a dog, its now the bowl to heat his pinkies up!!

Any advice is welcome as I am a new snake owner and want him to love me! Do you guys think I should try to feed him another pinky in a day or two? I'm not sure of his age or his weight.
