lol Thanks, the breeder must have gotten his species wrong. :P I still love him, though.

Think someone's uncomfortable?

Yeah, so far all of my snakes are laid back. lol I'm sure I'll eventually hit a more bitey one as I get more, though.

He went opaque a few days ago. I found him under his cool hide and a nice present under his humid hide. Luckily this one wasn't smelly. lol

Here's a feeding pic from Sanji's second meal with me. I was lucky to catch him right at the front of the tub so I snapped a photo.

Sanji's grown in the month or so I've had him. When I weighed him a little over a week ago he was empty and came out to 49 grams, so he'd put on 9 grams over ~month. I weighed him today, 3 days after he ate, and he came out to 53 grams, but I don't think he's empty yet. I do expect him to start shedding again in the next few weeks, so far he seems to be shedding every three weeks and it's been about 2.5 weeks since his last shed now.

Here are a couple of photos of him from before my camera broke.

Well he's grown a little bit more, last I weighed him he was 57 grams, and he's a few inches over 2ft by my estimation (he won't cooperate enough to get an exact measurement, and doesn't flatten out against a wall like Cloud does, but that's what I got with him mostly straightened out, so he may be a bit bigger or smaller).

He's been moved to a larger tub measuring 24 3/8"x15 1/8"x11.5", so he's also got plenty of room for climbing. I just need to figure out how I want to provide perches for him. Right now he has a vine and a small branch, but I'd like something a little better.

Here are some phone photos since my camera is broke (the colors are way way off on PC, so you may see some better colors viewing on a phone).

In his new tub, climbing on his vine.

I had put him in his new tub once I set it up to see how he looked in the tub and get a mental picture of what I wanted to do with the tub. I hadn't yet hooked up the heat, so the bedding was slightly cool and he immediately white-walled. He wasn't in there long, just long enough for me to see. I took Draco's vine to take up room, and I'll be going to go get him a new one. Once that was done, I hooked up the heat and held Sanji while I waited for his tub to warm up.

He decided to be a GTP for a day.

Here are some size comparisons of him in his tub with no decoration, just some bedding (there's a bunch of condensation because it was sitting on top of Cloud's enclosure).

Another of him in his old tub. I felt like he looked a bit cramped in it, and he's been here for 3 months now, so I figured it was time for an upgrade. :)
