Hey Guys...

Thanks for your help in previous posts (husbandry) etc. Here's on for you...

While making appropriate changes to my tank on my newly aquired BP (baby, had it for 5 days), I had to take it out of the cage to mess with substrate and hides and such. So I picked it up and put it in a small tote type box. No problems. So I do some work, have a short ADD moment, and clean up dinner which we had a few hours earlier. Now next I finish fixin up the little guys tank, and I pick him up to put him back in the tank. He opens up from his little ball, and starts eying up my thumb like a steak.

Was this snake smelling my dinner on my hands from cleaning up plates that had meat and meat juices on them? He did not strike or his, but he was focused right on my left thumb, as I was carrying him in the left hand?

New to snakes, trying to do the right thing... That just spooked me a bit, all the way up to when I put him down I just had this feeling like in the cartoons, when starving bugs bunny looks at donald duck and he turns into a giant T-Bone?!?!
