I just bought my first BP yesterday after wanting one for a long while.



I ended up getting it at Petco, which was very reasonably price and has bi-weekly checkups on their reptiles by a local vet.



The BP has very clear eyes, shining, smoothe skin, pretty much picture perfect.



The one thing I did want to ask is this:

My BP is slithering all over his cage and doesn;t seem to be aftraid of me at all. Did I just get super lucky or do they sometimes acclimate very quickly?



I have a Cali Kingsnake which I keep houased seperatly, had him for 2.5 years now. He is still somewhat shy but has never bitten or snapped at me. Strong bugger!



I have held him a few times abd he's never snapped at me, yet, which I hope he never does. It's just odd! He hatched a little over a month ago and he's about 13 inches.



Hes's in a 30 gallon Critter cage, have a heat pad under the cage and a heating lamp. Have temp ad humidity gauge and 2 hides climbing sticks and branches.



Other than that, any tips on what I should get for him other than what I have or any somewhat secret tips floating around out there?



Hope to have a picture soon.

Thanks in advance!
