No name yet but all of my roommates are calling him Steve...argh. It might stick .

Thanks! I love his eyes, too, they're stunning. He's also so friendly, I'm in love already .

Re: New baby!

Yay! He ate f/t for me today, no issues . He was very gentle and dainty while taking the mouse out of the forceps. No striking or constricting. I'm not used to that, my other snakes are rather dramatic feeders .

Re: New baby!

Congrats on the pickup! LOL about your roomates.

They (usually) get more enthusiastic about feeding as they grow. I have many babies right now who will only eat if I leave it. Most of my older snakes strike and coil.

Re: New baby!

He's definitely a climber! My snakes before this were a ball python and a few Kenyan sand boas...so this is a new experience for me .

It always cracks me up when they try and climb on to my glasses.
