Hi all,

I dropped in here a few months agoasking q's about IJ's. i decided to wait a little while and sleep on the idea, as there are significant people in my life that really didnt want me to get a snake

so, after a couple months, I still really wanted one. I picked up an 1.5 year old Irian Jaya that is a real beaut. approx 40 inches, has been calm so far, and feeding is due in a couple days.

I havent hadled him yet (had it since thursday night) becasue I wanted to give him a few days to settle in. I think I will probably feed him first, then hadle a few days later.

anyways, this is pretty exciting as this is my first snake (dont worry i researched for the last 6 months becasue i wanted a snake so badly), and I think it is an impressive addition to my small collecton.

looking forward to learning from your experience,

Adam

oh, and Ill get some pics when I start hadnling Harry (I decided to honour the name the previous owner gave him, there's a pretty cool back-story to it)

Yea pics are a must! Congrats Adam. I love my IJ, he's such a doll. But for the first time today he struck at me so maybe he's going into a shed soon I dunno. Never had it happen though in the last 5 months I've had him.
