I picked this little guy up at a reptile show a few days ago:

Yay! He ate f/t for me today, no issues :). He was very gentle and dainty while taking the mouse out of the forceps. No striking or constricting. I'm not used to that, my other snakes are rather dramatic feeders :p.

mine was like that the first couple of feedings, but last feeding striked and coiled

Congrats on the pickup! LOL about your roomates.

They (usually) get more enthusiastic about feeding as they grow. I have many babies right now who will only eat if I leave it. Most of my older snakes strike and coil.

He's definitely a climber! My snakes before this were a ball python and a few Kenyan sand boas...so this is a new experience for me :p.

It always cracks me up when they try and climb on to my glasses.

What a cutie! Congrats on the pick-up. Something new is always exciting but gets addicting :p

Glad he ate with no problems, once that issue is dealt with it's usually smooth sailing from there! :)

Haha, that does sound funny :). This guy loves to hang out upside down, apparently!

Morris, as I've named him, is doing well! He's eating well and is easy to handle :).

He's even converted a roommate into a bit of a snake person ;).
