glad he's eating for you, i think sometimes when a snake jumps to a new keeper and enclosure it could upset them into not eating for a good 2-3 months

Christmas lights in March?

Lol... nothing wrong with it! I put mine up once and only once. They stay up year round. It's redneck decoration at its best. Although I don't use the big Icicle lights like those...

I believe that he went off feed during the breeding season, he was taking food for a while prior to the season hitting then stopped and started again once the season ended.

He's look great Stephan....but I can see icicles on the eaves in the video. Why take the risk of bringing your snake outside when it's cold enough for ice? I never bring any snakes outside unless it is at or above 80F.

It was about 85 outside, surface temp on that porch is about 125 :P couldn't have him out for too long or he'd cook :P
Hes still a grump in the cage, great outside of it.

Retics are amazingly agile for large constrictors. Most will climb less as they get larger and heavier. They are also amazing swimmers and will swim in the ocean even.
