    Make him lift weights. :rofl: Kidding of course...really cannot tell from photo, but yes, snakes need activity too. But when he flattens out, he's doing the opposite
    of tensing up, so you might be underestimating his strength. How is he at hanging onto you? Does he constrict his prey? (even if f/t)

    He's pretty good at falling lol but he does constrict his f/t prey quite tightly!

    How much do you handle him? How big is his cage? Does he have stuff to climb over & onto? (not real high).

    I usually handle him roughly 3 times a week (unless he's in shed, which he's just come out of), anywhere from 10-45mins, he's currently in a 3ft wooden viv but is moving into a 4ft one in 2 weeks and yes, he has stuff to climb on although I took the branch out a few days ago to clean it (it's drying out) :)
