Yeah. This was supposed to be his feeding day according to his schedule (every 8 days or so), but I accidently stressed him out today (fumbling around in his cage), and I know he's not going to be willing to eat. I'll try tomorrow.

I haven't gotten a weight on him yet. I haven't removed him from his tank at all since I bought him (about a month ago), because I'm trying to keep him as stress-free as possible. The only times I've touched him were when I needed to move him inside of his enclosure (like if I had to move his hidespot...I had to move him to put the hidespot back).

He is a seemingly healthy snake, but I'm very concious of the stress captive reptiles endure, so anything that I do wrong now that stresses him out worries me to death.
