Hey all... so I'm brand new to boids and I just got a Nicaraguan BCI today. He seems fine, just some things I really don't know about because it is very different (obviously since they are completely different snakes) from my Pueblan Milksnake. So here is a link to a video of him just moving about and stuff.

So my concern here right now isn't really a big deal since I've been told these guys are very confident. My baby doesn't like to hide in his hides, he has two both sides of the viv. Likes to chill out in the foliage I have for him. I'm guessing this is normal?

What else I am talking about in the video is the skin seems loose when he goes into his "s" pose or when he clings tightly to my finger/arm. Is this natural for the babies as if the skin needs to be grown into? The second is the little valleys on the side of his belly in the vid, is that muscle or ribs? All info is greatly appreciated. Thank you
