Welcome to the forum Simmo85! You have already found that this is a great place with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also gets lots of fun and friendship as a bonus. Not sure how long you have had Creasy but would advise the following.
1. Hopefully you will already know the one week rule - leave Creasy to get over the stress of the move and settle into his new surroundings by leaving him without handling or feeding for a week. Only put your hand in daily to change water and straighten substrate, that way he gets used to your smell.
2. Make sure you read the care sheet on here, lots of information for new snake owners.
3. No question is regarded as a silly question on here.....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too!
4. I hope you got as much info on your snake when you bought it....shedding history, feeding history etc. Start your own 'Snake Diary', noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems. I know it seems a bit over the top but it is actually really helpful keeping track of your snake's health - I even not when Kellog poos!! 5. Unwritten forum rule - pics as soon as possible! Which means finding your camera is a necessity!!!
Am so glad you have treated yourself to Creasy...you deserve him! Now you get to enjoy him! And yes, majority of us have stood up, said hello my name is **** and I am addicted to corns/kings/lizards........! You have only just started down the path!!
