Hi Andy, it is really good that you, and Basil, have joined us! This is a great forum with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also get lots of fun and friendship  .
I am sure you have already browsed the TCS site and forum, so you've probably already looked at these threads....but better heard twice than not at all. The best place to start is the Care Sheet, which is helpful. Also have a look at Your 1st snake You'll find these, and a lot of information on viv set-up, feeding, shedding and handling in General Keeping Information - Stickies If you can't find what you want to know using the search option, then please don't hesitate to ask. We don't bite....much  !
As for putting up pics, this will hopefully help - How to post images using Photobucket ....although it is playing up at the moment  . There is a way using Facebook but I'm afraid I don't know how  .
I'm so glad you've finally got what you wanted after years of waiting. I'm warning you now, Basil won't be your last corn....they are addictive  .
Xxx

I'm glad you're already asking questions Andy  and that you and Basil are already bonding well. As for how often he can come out of the viv....as Carmil said, not for 48hrs after a feed, which I'm sure you know, but other than that its really up to you and him. If he's showing signs of being stressed then put him back but if he's happy being out then that's great .

| He seem more than happy out of his viv and he isnt a baby snake he's about 3ft long so in guessing he will be able to retain heat better than a smaller snake??? but yeh all is good so far. still cant upload a pic of him yet but he is a very pretty orange and brown colour ( very pretty ). |

Don't worry too much about him retaining heat, unless your house is freezing of course ! As long as he's active, or curled up on you, or in a pocket, or something like that, he'll be fine .
Sorry you're having issues with loading pics....you aren't the only one . If you have Facebook I THINK you just have to copy the image code of the pic and paste it....but I'm not sure . I do hope you work it out soon, can't wait to see him.

He's lovely Andy .
If you copy the IMG code somewhere on the right of your pic on Photobucket, paste it, remove the [URL] at the beginning and end and the repeated code , you SHOULD be able to show it on here. If you get confused by all the code, etc, just leave it in and one of us Mods will tidy it up for you. Good luck .
