Welcome to the forum frai! If you found Norma on here then you will also have 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.
1. Hopefully you will already know the one week rule - leave Norma to get over the stress of the move and settle into her new surroundings by leaving her without handling or feeding for a week. Only put your hand in daily to change water and straighten substrate, that way she gets used to your smell.
2. Make sure you read the care sheet on here (which I am sure you have already done!), 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. (If you didnt then tell me who you got her from and I will have a 'word'!!) 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 note when Kellog poos!!
5. Unwritten forum rule - pics as soon as possible! Which has already been mentioned once or twice.
Am so glad you have added Norma to your family! Now you get to enjoy her! But I better warn you...it is addictive. The 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!!

weighing them is easy - get some normal kitchen scales with a decent sized tub on top (big enough for norma to be comfortable in) and set them up to read zero with just the tub, then put norma in said comfortable tub and then that should give you an idea of how much she weighs
i really would advise leaving her alone for a few days, i know shes handling fine and fed ok but shes probably still freaking out about her new home |
