GRAPHIC IMAGE -is this normal?

The OP does seem to be over-thinking quite a lot...:weirdface:weirdface Just spot clean, and your snake will be fine :gj:

I may be over thinking it, but I don't want any chance of him thinking I'm food when I take him out

Even if you get bit cause the snake is confused it's not bad, BP bites really itch more than anything. And one bite doesn't mean the snake is aggressive, more often than not it just means they were confused at the time.

I'm not worried about getting bit. I'm more worried about him. I've lived through snake bites before. I'm going to give it a few days.

If he ate he's fine, if they're eating is or not is the best measure of health for the most part.

Oh, he's eating alright. Lol. Quite an appetite. I let him digest for a few days before handling him. Just a habit I have, I guess.
