And he would stare back into you! I really wish he could talk, because he is unquestionably the most intelligent snake I’ve ever met. The catalyst to my new scrub obsession.
And thank you! He tries to sabotage my picture taking when he thinks I’m not paying enough attention to him...but I can’t help it! My phone is like a shrine to him[emoji23][emoji23]

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
Sometimes he pretends he doesn’t want to play and just huffs and pouts in his hide, knowing I can’t get him out. [emoji849][emoji23]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cf863952a1.jpg

It seems he knows that I now know he’s a big fat bluffer. Now, in lieu of the hook he loathes, he lets me reach my hand in the enclosure and regards it with annoyance, rather than hatred. One day, it will be love and not just Stockholm syndrome [emoji23] He is holding a major grudge about the fact that I had to help remove his shed the other night and refuses to let me get him out of his enclosure or even perch while I’m around.

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
Took the little nugget out for some sun today while his dinner thawed. I was nervous, but he totally knocked back a day chick today! He’s eaten them in pieces before, but never a full chick. I just get so nervous because of his skinny little neck! He’s a spindly little worm at 4.5 feet or so and 285 grams. But he crushed it!

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
Unfortunately, this guy was napping on the ground when feeding time came last week (and he’s always so derpy when I feed him on the ground). I gave him his chick and went about doing other things in the room. Suddenly, I hear the snapping of branches and vines. I turn to see that he has moved to his favorite basking perch on the complete opposite end of the viv and is using his tail to drag the chick through the branches and to his mouth LIKE A FREAKING KRAKEN!!!

Smart as a whip and personality to boot! Glad I started with a small scrub, because he’s already a handful and a half!😂 Sweet as monsters come, though. He’s my favorite of all time!😍

An anniversary to remember! 1 year ago, I got to hold this skinny, shedding, grumpy little guy. He came right to me, then gave me a scrub kiss on each hand before I even realized what happened. When I got to the car, I realized I could not wipe the smile off my face. Tried to convince myself that this was not a smart decision and not the right time, etc....
But I just couldn’t. Came home with my sweet pea 3 weeks later and haven’t stopped smiling since![emoji16]

Also, I never get to see anyone else hold him....so tonight, I realize my little man is not so little anymore [emoji23][emoji23]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cf3992912.heichttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ccc9eeb41b.jpg

Every time I feed this guy, I think he’s gonna pop. That skinny little neck is so misleading!

This greedy guy JUST finished swallowing his own chick and he’s trying to steal his sister’s, too!

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
Out of the blue last week, my little prince tagged me. It was the first time in 10 or 11 months and was the most embarrassingly wussy bite any scrub has ever offered. Didn’t even draw blood. And considering the size of those chompers, that is impressive. This is basically the story in photographic form[emoji23]
Me: Hey, peanut-face! You’ve been hiding for 4 days straight and I miss you. Come play!
Him: Maybe I’ll think about it...I’m still kinda sleepy and HA!!! I bite you! But softly, like the wind.
....
Mom, are you mad? Mom? MOM?!?
Me: Nope, not mad...but I’m going to ignore you for a lil’ while, because that wasn’t very nice.
Him: yeah, but I was only kidding! It wasn’t real.
...

I know! He's so cute I can't be mad, even when he wants to kill me :) Perhaps I will feel differently when he's 8 feet long....but I doubt it ;)

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
He’s been very rude this month and, after shunning me for at least a week,finally agreed to some play time.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c82b97c3d3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...94441db87c.jpg
He did not, however, agree to photographs.

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
He took a live rat today, as well. I’ve never seen anyone scarf down their dinner so fast. He launched out of his egg not 4 seconds after I put the rat in his cage and it went from alive to completely swallowed in 4 minutes [emoji15] He didn’t even bother coming out of his egg until it was over!
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f2640132c6.jpg
Now, he’s perched with his head hanging down, waiting for more food to wander by. He acts like I starve him[emoji849] Fat monster.

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
Pop is looking great Slytherin :). He sounds a bit moody though. My male is the same way. Some days he's cool and other days he greets me with poop and teeth. :)

He is SO freaking moody I’m starting to wonder if he’s actually a she😂😂 Moody, smart, stubborn, sassy. You know, typical scrub. Although, in general, he handles like a dream. Just doesn’t like hands in the enclosure!

Team Slytherin & Pop I just read and looked at all the pictures.
I really enjoyed it, You're brave and Pop is lucky to have you.

Haha, he usually just heads straight for the lens and pulls the phone away from me! He's like a kraken. It's becoming harder and harder to bend him to my will ;)

Thank yoooou!! This is how I know he is my son. I came home yesterday, delighted to find a fresh shed in his cage. But when I picked it up, I realized it was incomplete...so I managed to coerce him out of his favorite hide to see if he needed help. Turns out, he got to the last 9 inches or so of his body and just got tired of shedding, so he went to bed! Wasn't stuck or anything...he just decided he was over it. I love this guy.

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
What an amazing looking sassy creature. I think is cool he keeps you on your toes. A little ad adrenaline never hurt anyone, much. I think is a great reminder that they are always wild animals. Sure can be risky when I show them off but I am always ready to take the hit. Never had to as of yet and grateful as well. Best of luck with him.

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
He just slowly turned his head away from me until he was completely upside down and stayed there until I stopped talking to him. My son, indeed. [emoji849] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9127b2cf3f.jpg

Oh, yes. Yesterday, I let him roam around a bit and it took me 20 minutes to get him unwrapped from around every possible thing in the hall closet😐 It’s like having an octopus in the house.
