Kudos to you and your girlfriend!

He looks great!

As far as feeding wait a week for him to settle - especially since you will probably be making changes to his tank over the next few days. Also don't handle him as well.

Real quick: I can't tell how/if you're giving him any heat to provide a temp gradient (especiall since I don't see thermometers and a hygrometer). That's one of the first priorities. The other is that he needs a water dish (I put on the cool side) that is big enough for him to soak in.

Email me for a psuedo caresheet I've put together. It's full of copies of posts I've collected from various message board forums like this. I've found it's usually better to go by personal experience of others as opposed to many of the caresheets you find online - most of them are regurgitated information either outdated or from people who don't even care for BPs (or haven't in awhile).
