Man what a great looking snake! Just beautiful.

Orochimaru got upgraded to a 20 GAL long today. I feel like he has gotten so big already. He seems to be enjoying the space and the bark piece. And I finally actually held in my hand today, woohoo :fest:. We're both a lot more comfortable with each other, and me snakes in general. I no longer have that irrational fear of being bit.

wow, he's getting big. nice 1 piece shed. keep it up! :gj:

Orochimaru apparently didn't like the 20 long tank. He didn't eat at all in there. I went ahead and got him live the other day. Hoping he'll go back to f/t now that he's in a tub.

He feels much more secure in the tub. Another perfect shed! At 229 grams now. He has mellowed out a lot. No more hissing or striking.

Orochimaru is not interested in rats, but will occasionally take one if it smells like a mouse. He is easily my longest snake, but is only 220 grams.

I've gotten Orochimaru to take rats for two feedings in a row, hopefully he is done being a mouser. His last shed was on 8/09/16. Currently weighing in at 685 grams.

i love this guy. he looks great!

would love to see some Pied/het Pied (with ringer) clutch of his in the future. first generation clutch would produce some Champagne het VPI Axanthic, het Pieds (hopefully with ringers) and second generation could yield VPI Axanthic Champagne Pieds or VPI Axanthic Champagne het Pieds with huge ringers. grey-scale and white BP's! :)

I agree, some Champagne Lightning Pieds would be pretty sweet.
