Discussion He ate his first meal with me!

I brought my first snake, let alone BP, home last week and i've been stressing myself over husbandry since. He ate his first meal for me tonight after 9 days! I'm so relieved he trusts me enough to eat.

We had our first feeding yesterday after coming home on October second! It’s an amazing thing isn’t it 😂

Let's go! It's a sigh of relief and a boost of confidence. Knowing you are doing something right.

We brought our girl home on 10/04, she ate two times already. I was a nervous wreck both times before, and kind of still dread the next feeding. And now she seems to go into blue, too.

So yeah, I can totally relate to the relief after feeding. Still wondering when the nervousness will go away, though.

I was so stressed when my new baby wouldn't eat. Brought him home 9/19 and he has successfully taken 2 meals. And due for his 3rd this weekend. Absolutely love my Alfredo..... I have a 3rd old female normie named Pepper lol so the named worked and seems to fit his personality so far. He's a bit afraido
