3 Successful Feedings: Time to Hold

After 3 weeks of successful feedings, I was ready to see and hold my BP. Plus I got a chance to finally do a full clean of the cage. He weighed in at 221g which is up from 196g. He was little shy as I was admittedly nervous myself taking him out and holding him.

Haha......I may have found a tiny nugget but I'm not 100% sure it was poop. Nothing was under his hide. I was worried there would be some poop or even worse a regurgitated mouse ;)

Pretty little snek you have there!

lovely. congrats on your first handling sesh! [emoji3]

Beautiful snake. With time the two of you will develop trust for one another. Keep handling him and he will gain confidence in being out and about.

Thank you! I think he's absolutely stunning.

Appreciation the words of wisdom. I feel like I've built up my confidence watching millions of handling videos which I'm trying to apply when handling. But each time, I see his neck bend in an S-like curve, I immediately get a little tense and wonder if he's gonna strike for the 1st time. So far he seems super submissive. I left him lay on the scale for a good 5-10 minutes while I cleaned his cage and he barely moved.

The one phrase that a snake keeper is going to say at some point is "Oh :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:" especially if you ever get careless.
