Finally! Came home with the snake I've been drooling over for like a month. He is a beautiful yearling Tanimbar scrub python. I am completely in love with this little terror. He's such an amazing animal; indoor cell phone pictures will never do him justice. I have to admit, there were about 10 minutes during the "unboxing" period when I thought to myself, "DANNY! I don't think I can do this!" But I gathered my courage and managed to get him from the cup into the viv with no blood spilled. He's super intelligent, curious, and bold. No hiding for this guy. He's been strutting in full view, exploring his whole huge viv for hours. He ate immediately, postured at me like a demon for awhile....then I finally decided to have 1 handling session before I leave him be for the next week to acclimate (that is going to be sooooo hard). Although he was downright demonic in his enclosure, once I got him out and we both stopped being nervous, he was SUCH an awesome snake to handle! I don't think I've ever been so enamored by anything. He's wonderful. And he didn't even tag me once! (today)
