This is my male southern scrub python, in shed.....he is about 3-3.5 feet and loves to strike, he sometimes is nice out of the cage but sometimes still tags me.

Hehey, i know that little guy :)!!!! Thats the one you got from burmesemaniac right?!?! I raised that snake since it was still a bit red at the store where i used to work!!!! When he was sold he wouldnt bite at all and ate like crazy, then things seemed to have changed... sad. He wasn't really territorial either, never bit me when i was taking him out, hopefully he calms down soon, he's soooo cute :)

here he is eating for me a 60g rat, he can take more but it my first time feeding him since i got him, but took it like a champ . Still a little nervous but we'll work on it. my camera sux so you cant see how light this snake is, he is actually really light brown.
