So... This is Al Capone
I intend to do a progress thread with him while he grows, and develops his adult colors. I may or may not continue it at that point, but I'm stoked to see how his colors develop
So, I'd gotten my little Baird's rat snake yesterday and he's been such an interesting snake so far. He was really active for a few hours, and he felt like exploring everything. He's still a little nervous and flighty, but hasn't struck at me yet (I'm a little disappointed, I was hoping for a little more kick to his spirit, but it's still a refreshing change of pace).
I didn't take a picture of this, but he was in his cold hide at one point with his head out at an angle. Anytime I moved, he'd duck back in real quick like I didn't see him. I don't think he knows he has a warm hide yet, as he'd much rather get in the red plant back there or burrow in the eco-earth. Such a character, it was love at first sight for me
Anyways, enough with my rambling. Here's some pictures of the little man.
(I know I posted some of these pictures in a different thread, but I wanted to make him an official progression thread so I went ahead and reposted them for everyone to see)
