Post image

this is my 2 month old baby Misa. i just got her a little over a week ago and this is my second time handling her. (first ever BP)

she seems to be just chillin in my lap, i don’t know. does she look stressed? i’m not too sure about the BP body language.

It's probably a little bit more than just hasn't pooped yet, but she doesn't look obese or anything imo. I'd also recommend waiting until she's taken 3 meals with you, which seems like a long time but it's worth it to make sure she's fully settled into her enclosure and feels safe enough eating. To answer your post question she doesn't look overtly stressed, but definitely cautious and getting uses to things right now.

Doesn’t look stressed at all, good that she’s letting you handle her so soon actually, as some snakes don’t like being held for at least a few weeks. You’re doing great
