Hey guys/gals. I'd picked up a house snake at the reptile show when I'd bought my albino gopher. For reasons unbeknownst to me it's a snake I've been very interested in since seeing a couple Youtube videos.
I've pretty much left him alone for 3 weeks since he's so squirmy and nippy when I first got him home. After a bit of squirming he settled in for a curious but calm handling this morning. I love their little python face and he seems to gotten over his nipping. Though they're a bit spastic and can shoot out of your hands easily. I almost think it's easier to handle fully grown snakes haha.
I'm not sure if it's common with house snakes, but he hits food harder off the tongs than any of my other snakes. Does me good to see a critter that eats so well! He's having a bit of trouble with his current shed, despite daily mistings and his favorite hide with some damp eco earth. Though the eye caps and head scales came in one piece so no worries.
Anyways, despite his constant wiggling I got a couple pictures. I really look forward to him growing out a bit.
