Re: First Pituophis!
Well over the weekend, he ate for me for the first time. He took F/T which is great. He also shed, so I got to see his true color for the first time. I'll upload some pictures of him post-shed soon!

You'll find that Pituophis aren't exactly the pickiest of eaters. They have a really long list of natural prey that can rival some of the real food dumpster snakes out their (Eastern Kingsnakes being the big one).

Re: First Pituophis!
Just a little update on him. He's growing like a weed and in shed again. I've noticed he's been putting on a little more girth and I'm going to measure him after his shed to see how much length he has gained since getting him. Poor guy is probably blind from those eye caps for the time being.

Re: First Pituophis!
They do grow fast Bandit. Your guy looks good even in shed.

Re: First Pituophis!
Yeah I will try to get some good pictures of him after his shed. He's not flighty by any means, but getting him to sit still for a picture is close to impossible. He always wants to climb up onto my other hand or the phone.

Re: First Pituophis!
That's quite typical for Pituophis. Very active animals. That's part of what makes them so awesome  Hopefully he'll let you take some good pictures, though! He's a great looking snake.

Re: First Pituophis!
He's quickly becoming my favorite out of the three. So much more laid back and curious than my other two and definitely more fun to handle.

Re: First Pituophis!
Another update. I attempted to measure him today...he didn't want to cooperate. However, I did get a decent measurement and he's roughly 18.5" now, possibly a little bigger. He was 16.5" when I measured him a month ago.
He's also eating like a champ. He has always eaten readily, but his feeding response is definitely getting a lot stronger.
Here's the best picture I could get of him. Not that great, and for some reason he looks really dark in this picture but I think that's just due to lighting. Plus you can see that he was on the move, hence the blurriness.

Re: First Pituophis!
He's looking good Bandit. What's his feeding schedule like?

Re: First Pituophis!
As of right now, he's getting one f/t fuzzy every week.

Re: First Pituophis!
I saw an opportunity so I took it. This is probably the best picture I'll get of the little guy seeing as he moves so much.

Re: First Pituophis!
He's looking great Bandit. Pits are easy to love. They're beautiful, strong, active, fun to handle and monsters at feeding time. I think they're very underrated in our hobby.
