Ive had this guy for a few weeks now and he was pretty calm when i got him home and into the aquarium. Likes exploring and got a very good apetite. I have a question reguarding handling. It seems hes getting more skiddish and im not sure why exactly. I try not to bug him too much but i try to handle him at least every other day to get him use to me. I dont make any wild or extreme movements when observing him so he seems comfortable in his home and stays in his hide alot but most of the time has his head poked out the entrance just looking around and sometimes comes out to cruise. He enjoyed climbing on rocks more than branches so i put some bigger rocks in that he took too quickly. My main question being are there rules to fallow making a snake comfortable handling? I leave him alone for a few days after feeding, and i dont want to disturbe the asylum of his hide but had to get him out of it to put him in the feed box yesterday for dinner. Will it just take time? Im just getting concerned as now hes balling up when i go to aquire him that he didnt use to do. I would apreciate any experience that anyone has to offer on this topic. BTW hes about 14" right now so still pretty much a baby. thanks Jason
