New Addition and Advice Please!

Ok guys and gals,

So as mentioned before, I got my Borneo from VPI today. He is everything i expected and more. I can not be more happy with their prices, quality, and service.

That being said, i do have a question. He was (obviously) very nervous when i pulled him out, so i took a few pics and put him away quickly. However, during those 2 minutes his hemipenes were completely out. Do you think he just really wanted to poop on me?

I'm not too concerned yet, but I was hoping to hear someone confirm that they had seen an upset snake do the same thing. I will let him chill and check on him tonight to make sure they're back where they belong.

Thanks for any help folks! Annnnnnnnd PICS!

Wow, very nice. I will have room for some of these guys one day! Your's looks really wicked with the stripe

UPDATE:

Tracy from VPI e-mailed me back almost immedeately (I love these guys!) and here's what she said about the hemipenes:

"Yes they love to do that!
If you see that they are not pulled in you can soak him in a little bit of water and that usually does the trick.
I’m hoping he will settle down-they become incredibly tame, but as babies not so much!
He really hasn’t been handled at all, so it will take him a bit to get used to it."

problem solved!

Oh my god. That snake is awesome! What kind is it? (obviously its a Borneo) but what type of morph?
