Re: Can't tell if MBK is being weird, or not.
Well, I went to go sift through the substrate and found the snake right off the bat! So I held him while my husband looked. Either he hasn't shed yet (and is in the clear-eyed stage right beforehand) or my husband sucks at finding baby snake skins.

I figured I'd offer a mouse anyway, in case we missed it or something. He was much different for handling this time around--didn't musk, didn't try to run away so much, and got exploratory after chilling in my hand for a minute or two. Hilariously, although he'd REACH towards my husband, seemingly curious, he'd actually swerve away and back to my hand if we offered him my husband's hand to climb onto.

For a snake that the store employees were AFRAID of, I find him utterly charming. Not living up to his ferocious reputation at all!

He is beautiful. I am obsessed with my MBK now. They are so cool.

Woot, I poked him out of his Tunnel Empire and he took the pinky.

I'm glad you guys are here to talk me through all of this with my first snake. I'd be a neurotic mess otherwise! Doing the research is one thing, but care sheets don't cover half the silly questions I end up with.

Congrats on the successful feed Amber. Keep up the good work!

I'm new to snakes and a neurotic mess too. I'm slowly getting over a fear of them as well. The people here have been a great help! Beautiful snake!
