He's perfectly handleable.
You just don't want to reach into his tub, LOL This species is notorious for being territorial!
Feeding live: They usually don't constrict smaller prey, just swallow it. The prey is dead by the time the front paws are down. It seems they take it down a tad slower until it's dead then GULP. Something a bit larger that might take a bit longer to die or is really trying to do some damage I have witnessed cervical dislocation performed. The snake grabbed the prey by the head until it had most of it in his mouth, pinned the body up against the tub with his body and yanked real hard by the head. Extremely interesting technique for a snake! This particular yearling refused all f/t and p/k I offered so I went with live. I had one baby, and one only, constrict its prey... and it was f/t ROFL.
