Went in a few mins ago to see if the rats were still there, he poked his nose out, so I dangled them again and he took both, cold. Weirdo.

Lol, strange creatures. Oh well.

SnoopySnake · 07-24-15, 11:30 AM

Very strange, indeed. Gotta wonder what goes through their heads.

**millertime89** · 07-24-15, 01:49 PM

Always... lol.

At least he's eating Snoopy that's the main thing

Snakes. You gotta love them as much as you worry about them. At least their goofiness is worth some headshakes and a few laughs. Sometimes they just have a weird day for eating, as long as he ate everything's good.

Yeah, I am actually getting a bit worried though, yesterday I went in to spot clean his tub and he still didn't come out, very unusual for him so I'll be getting him it and looking him over pretty soon here. Hoping it's only coincidence that he's being weird after I bring a new snake in. (I am quarantining in a separate room with separate supplies)

Beautiful!!

Not really sure what to do with this guy...I don't have much time to get him out and work with him like I should, and every time I get him out he does not calm down, shoots for my face, constricts my hands...Ends up being a stressful experience for everyone involved. I really enjoy watching him but I prefer something a bit more hands on.

**millertime89** · 08-10-15, 11:48 AM

How old is he now? 1-2 years is about how long it takes most SDs to chill out in my experience.

SnoopySnake · 08-10-15, 12:24 PM

He's coming up on a year on the 26th. I have a hard time finding the time to really work with him in the first place, I know that doesn't help.

**millertime89** · 08-11-15, 12:48 PM

Even 5 minutes per day before you go to sleep is enough. But he should start calming down, that usually starts when they get to a year in age.

Happy to say we're making a *slight* bit of progress. Yes I'm a wimp and need gloves lol. Had to take the radiant heat panel out because he somehow wedged himself in between the panel and the lid and shed up there. I didn't think he could fit....I tapped him with the hook and just grabbed him after that. There were a few bites but eventually he figured it out and then he sat curled around my hand for a good 20 mins. So now I need a new heat mat...

bigsnakegirl785 · 09-01-15, 09:49 PM

He's a cute little trouble-maker! Glad to hear there's some progress.

Your not a wimp, you just don't like getting bit

to me that's smart

. Good to see your making some headway with him
