Pics of first feed
So excited Amani accepted his first feed today. Was kind of worried because the store we got him from only fed him live pinkies. Today we tried a youthinized one that I warmed back up and it was barely no effort to get his feeding reaction into top gear and accept it. I actually get the idea he would have taken two (maybe next week).

Anyways, heres some pics of his first feed with us. I wasnt anticipating showing these but it really is different when its your snake and it happens to be his first feed. I now understand all the "first feed" posts.
















Only took a couple attempted strikes then a death-grip and impressive coil around it and it was game over. Might try to feed him two next week.

Thank you, and yeah I was hoping he'd be a little pig. . He looked hungry the past day or so (if that makes sense).
