Questions about the BP

[Minkness]

Congrats on tour new friend!

I don't have experience with a ton of morphs, but Ibheard somewhere that darker morephs are more deffensive and lighter morphs are more chill. (Super cinny vs. Lucy). I can't confirm that to be true however.

Personality is absolutely individual! Ibhave a beautiful lesserbee who looooves to hiss like he's a big, bad snake when I get him out of his tub, but then is perfectly fine aftet that! Silly snake.

Leaving them alone for a time is important. I wish I would have taken that advice whrn I first gor my BP. It took me over a month to get him to eat regularly, then he developed an RI which threw him off of feeding again. My other 2 snakes however, ate on day 2 of having them, and don't have any issues being handled. (Hognose and MBK).

Either age of snake is a good choice really. Younger will be easier to work with on handling but the older will be more established as DDW said. I got my guy when he was 9 months old, and I think that's part of why he hisses when I go into his tub or touch him at first.

Good luck on choosing your new buddy! Looking forward to lots of oics!
