He's here!!!
Meet Flint.
I think he's absolutely gorgeous. Can't get any better pictures right now since I'm told he needs to be left alone for a few days....it's so painful, lol.
But anyway, that's him. Thank you for all your guidance thus far and as I continue in the joys of snake ownership! =]

Re: He's here!!!
It's not fog, haha, it's just "clear" plastic. It's not plexi, so it's not 100% transparent.

Re: He's here!!!
Alright, so I received little Flint on Tuesday morning. It's now Friday. I'm worried about him, though. He hasn't pooped or peed, I haven't seen him drink, and has, for the most part, stayed in one of his hides all day and night. He was in the warm spot hide for the first two days, now he's been in the cool spot hide for yesterday and today.
I'm feeding him later tonight, so hopefully I'll see something happen, but is this kind of behavior otherwise normal?

Re: He's here!!!
All normal for both his type and new home.
If he doesn't take the food or strikes at it defensively just take it away and wait another week. He'll be fine. He also most likely is drinking but being stealth about it.

Re: He's here!!!
^^^^ What Terranaut said. I rarely see any of my animals drink at all, with the exception of my burms. Anytime I give those girls fresh water and let them see it, they'll usually drink, but that's about the only time I ever see any of mine drinking.
As far as pooping, Some go a bit more frequently than others. For example, I can almost guarantee after my king eats, I'll find poop in her tub within the next 3-5 days. My balls go about once every couple of weeks. My BCI RTB will go about once a month, sometimes longer. My carpet, burms, and dumerils (my dumerils are adults so their poop schedule may differ from a baby) go right after they shed. My baby borneo just went for the first time and I've had her 5 weeks. But bloods can hold poop for months.
I don't know if anyone has suggested it to you, but until you learn your guys routine (and maybe even after), it's a good idea to keep a record of every feed attempt (whether they eat or refuse), each shed, and each time they poop. This will help you identify what's regular for your animal.
Let us know if he eats for you! And if you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to voice them!
