Re: Good and bad news..

Fussing around with his enclosure is a sure way to increase the stress invoked by moving to a new home. If you are going to listen to the advice given to let him settle for a week then you really need to LEAVE HIM ALONE for a week. Everytime you "try" something you are just interrupting the settling in process.

This is really good advice and I know it is hard popcorn but seriously don't go into the cage for a week except for water changes...

After a week or two of not eating then try changing stuff around at least then he will be settled in and you can cross that off of the what might be wrong list

no point freaking out right now

I understand he is your baby and that the exact same way I feel about my BP who currently hasnt eaten in 2 weeks...

I am leaving him alone and its incredibly frustrating :P But I know it is what is best for the snake and I am continuing to leave him be if he doesnt eat this week ill leave him alone for another before even considering worrying.

Again as I may have said earlier take the advice given on this site to heart most of the top posters on this site have well over a decades worth of experience with different snakes some specializing in particular one such as Mykee with BP's, Wayne with Garters, Willow with GTP's, and i believe jenn with the biggest monsters you can find . Trust me most of them are more qualified than an ordinary vet through experience alone
