HI Krazykat!!
So nice to be meeting all you guys... All my friends are afraid of snakes, guys and girls alike! I only know two people who aren't deathly scared of them, jeez! The picture you attached is fairly accurate, except mine is more brown and cream than green and yellow, and is maybe twice that length. Hopefully someone else on here has the same snake so we can compare notes!
Anyway, I think by tomorrow I should be able to take him out and handle him without him being too uncomfortable. Wish me luck with my new snake friend! XD
