i just want to say thks to everyone who offered there advice i got my 1st stimie last week. he is a great looking snake and although i was a bit concerned about the size of the enclousure being to big, he seems to have taken to it ok. i offered him his first feed on saturday and had no problems knocking it down.only other question i have for the moment is after feeding is it normal that he tryed to get realy close to the light. i have herd that the heat helps with the digesting does anyone know if this is normal

yep yep, snakes thermoregulate, they need to be warm to help digest their food

Good to hear he is going well and has eaten for you. Just make sure he can't touch the light. These little fellars are tricky and can get through the smallest gaps. More than one person has had them get into the light cage and get stuck in there, cooking instead of digesting.

It's great to hear that things are turning out just nicely for you both. Once he gets settled in you'll have to pst some pics.
