He sure looks happy.... :p

I am really liking the set-up you have for him! It's nice to see some realistic environments. If I had more space, which I will in the future, I would love to give every snake I own it's own habitat rather than a tub.

Is it just regular soil that you are using or is it something special?

Typically if you want it to hold burrows a 50/50 or 60/40 (another option) mix of Children's washed play sand and plain old topsoil mine soil isnt 100 % good for holding burrows im still working with it I kinda messed up the first time around lol

Very cool setup mate. I'm sure you see lots of cool behavior with a setup like that as well.

some feeding videos i have when i first got him im not the best at keeping a camera still so bear with me :p

His first feeding he seemed to be a little confused on how to swally the mouse but he caught on eventually in the second vid.

I never really considered offering this to a snake honestly ive seen them eat them before i just figured why not give it a try lol a buddy of mine just picked up 200 mice and 50 chicks he hooked me up with 2 of them and some mice
