Introducing Mr.Snakey

[Nick]

Heres a pic of Mr.Snakey, as my gf calls him. Had him out to clean his tub and finally took some pics of him and i figured i put them up. Had him or about 3 months now and he gotten pretty big....





I have a question, is it normal for him to always try and get away from me when i hold him... i know i probably dont hold him as much as i should but im working on that

Nice BP ya got there man... As for the handeling issue the more you hold him the more comfortable he'll get with you, a little tip; wash your hands for a minute with nice warm water, dry them off than handle him, warm hands usually work for me to keep a reptile calm, they just relax and take in the heat and get aclimated... I had a juvenile mangrove monitor (really timid flighty monitor) asleep in 5 minutes in my hands, the best thing about having big hands and good circulation, LOL.

Same here ~ My BP always tried to move away when I hold him.
