Morellia Madness

[dakski]

Thanks, Dave.

He's starting to take on some of his Mom's yellows (she's bright yellow). He's definitely got some of Dads Vandeveeter coloring, but he's already brighter than his Dad. I'm guessing he'll land somewhere in the middle as far as resembling one parent over the other.

Best part is he's definitely turned the corner with handling. He's always aware of his surroundings, but not on high alert all the time anymore and he hasn't struck in ages. He's lost the majority of his head shyness too, I can pet his head no problem most of the time. If he's not feeling it he simply pulls away and I take his cue and leave his head alone.

Great to hear that he's calmed down so much. Yafe doesn't like his head being touched, but tells me nicely. It's his prerogative and I respect that. The boas let me pet their heads all day, they could care less. Solana doesn't care and Figment freaks out. So does Shayna. It's important to know our animals individual tendencies and likes and dislikes.

Cannot wait to see him grow some more, Craig. The contrast of the yellow and black is going to be stunning as he ages, especially with some size.
