Photos of my new snake and his enclosure!

He's a beauty mate.
Don't worry, he will settle down soon...he won't even notice you walking past the enclosure when he feels comfortable in his surroundings....I reckon anyway :wink:

They are mainly noctunal thats why they dont move much during the day.

thought so. thanks for that info rob. well hes settled in then, exploring eating etc. probably going to leave it till friday or this weekend before he gets his first handling session. 15mins every 3-4days ok?

Personally Id just leave him alone but each to their own.

I'd take him out every 2nd day or so to begin with, but each to their own.

*UPDATE*

ok well a lil update, sorry no pics. the lil guy is doing great. took anouther pinkie last week. hes getting better with handling still bites a bit. todays handling went well while the last handling he wasn't in a great mood and gave me a couple great bites.

i took him outside today and it seemed to calm him down i think he liked the sunshine. i think hes coming up to a shed not sure when its going to happen but his colouration is becoming darker.

i will post again with more pics and i might attempt to messure him (get his length with a piece of string then messure the string)

cheers

Make sure when you take him out, he can get to shade as well as sun and hang on tight, will be a nice little feast for birds. :shock:

Eating well, you must be doing something right

I know i was standing over him the whole time he didn't seem to terribly mind!

i have no idea what that something is! hes just a pig! though he seems a bit thin (but thats probably just me). going to try him on fuzzies for the next feed.
