Sunbeam Pics

Just wanted to share a couple of pictures of my sunbeam since I was spot checking his tank and didn't seem to mind me handling him.
I'm pretty pleased he doesn't freak out and musk!
And since he was out I thought I'd snap a few quick pictures before leaving him alone again.

He's doing great since I've had him, the blisters he had when I first got him shipped are gone and he seems to be doing well so far!

Great pics! He's very sunshiny :P
How old is he? How big do they get?

Love that iridescence! Stunning little fellow :D

Thanks!

I don't know how old he is, I got him from a breeder and he was wild caught.

And he is probably a bit over 2 ft if I had to guess, haven't weighed him because he's not to fond of being out of his tank.
Though they can grow up to around a meter.

Though I do love shiny things. ;)

Hi,

So is he fairly tolerant of handling? I thought it was one of the big no-no's for the species.

How do you find him in the enclosure? :)

Hey!
Yeah, he seems pretty fine with me messing with him. I don't handle him every day of course! The last time I had him out was probably when I posted the first pictures.

Just had him out long enough to snap some quick pictures after spot checking through his tub.

And most of the time he is under his substrate, but today he was on top, so I didn't have to stress him out searching for him.

But he didn't musk or try to flee, so I don't think I bothered him too much. :)

That snake should be called Rainbow instead of Sunbeam. :)

That a crazy spectrum of color for one snake.
