Glad i could be of assistance

He'll be okay. I promise you that. As long as he isn't losing a ton of weight and has folding skin, he's perfectly fine. Just leave him alone for a few days, let him settle in. After that you can worry about everything else. He's likely too stressed to eat. If you leave him alone, he'll likely start getting more comfortable.

But can i put my face really close the aquarium just to watch him, or should
i not show my self too?

But nevermind. I just wont bother him until Saturday.

Mostly just leave him in the cage, and just keep the paper towels for now. You can watch him. Might actually be good.

It's not a good idea to, it'll make him nervous. Imagine if you were in his skin, you'd be terrified.

There's no paper towels. Only newspaper.

Yep, just leave him be for at least a few days. He won't starve and will be more likely to eat after he's gotten more comfortable. Hang in there

Newspapers work.

Chantel, I've noticed that when you watch them, the get used to you looking and start to get curious about you. But don't stare at him for days, I just meant you can look in at him if you want.

[kibakiba]

Well, when its a new snake, you need to leave them completely alone for a couple days. Hades gets stressed out if I look at him. It's not kind to the snakes to bug them when they're scared enough.

Thats Hades. He's a pissy snake. In case you don't know, I had (have) a very jumpy WC.

Hes tame now, but then, If I went a day without him seeing me, he'd be panicy. If I looked in lot he'd be less worried about me, and came out. hed see that that big thing obviously wasn't gonna eat him, but if he didn't see me for awhile, and I looked in "AHH!! PREDETOR!!"

My experience.
