that head stripe is amazing ! That one gash. He looks like a crazy Spider-Man morph lol

now I’m mad I passed on one of these this weekend at my local show

yep he's on pinkies. i only have a few mice pinkies left and have most of a bag of rat pinkies (which are bigger). so i'll see if he takes a rat pinkie in a few days or so.

also don't worry. i'm sure u will get your own Coxi; it's just a matter of when. ;)

What a beauty. I can definitely see the temptation to purchase if seen in person.

so far, no biting. just a squirmy lil baby as expected. he's calm but u have to keep an eye on him. (see gif above)

Fast moving and even faster when lunging and biting :)

For some reason their bites really hurt ... sharper teeth than norm or maybe just the type of bite .. Thank the Lord he's only about 20" long .... he's still my scariest snake :)

For what it's worth these look extra stunning if kept on dark coloured substrate , I use Orchid bark and that's great for keeping the humidity up ... They like some humidity or a damp moss hide ...
