    Checked his temps today before I left for work, he was over on his cool side and was acting a lot more curious than he normally does. I watched him for a minute after I checked everything and he ended up sticking his neck out of the tub with his chin on the front of my shirt and just sat there looking up at me. Slowly flicking his tongue. Not sure if he wanted to eat again (his last meal with the breeder before he came to me was on the 30th) or was just checking me out. I wanted to pick him up! It was really cool and I wish I got pics, now every time I check his temps I WILL have my phone on standby!

    My first snake is extremely tame and he wants to come out of his terrarium all the time! My 9 year old daughter can handle him and he is cool with it, he is so docile. Every time I open his rack, he tries to climb out onto my arm. He has very little fear. I attribute to my handling him fairly frequently since he was little. He knows my scent, and he know the humans in his environment are safe. He is SO CHILL with being pet, and he wants to come out all the time!

    The other new pythons I recently acquired don't know me yet, and haven't been handled and TAMED nearly as much, so they mostly hide from me. I will tame them though, it is just more work to spend time with them and tame them, when you have multiple snakes.

    Well my wife and I decided to hold him today! He sure is a sweet little guy he didn't ball up when my wife picked him up or once while either of us held him. He is amazing! He even got right in my wife's face and flicked his tongue on her nose lol
    Here's a few pics!

    Just wait until he is full grown! I find them very cuddly and truly amazing when they are big fat adults! I mean the babies are cute, but the adults are stunning!
    Enjoy watching him grow up, it happens really fast!

    More pics, let him roam around on a warm blanket today, he liked weaving in and around limbs lol.. Even tried to go up my pant leg. Still can't get enough of this guy! When we put him back in his tub he looked like he was going to come right back out. Last time he went to the back and around his hide, almost like he was checking it and then he went right in. Today he did the same thing but came back to the front and just sat there and looked at us for a few seconds then went back behind his hide and that was all she wrote. Hate shutting the tub on him, goodbyes are so hard lol:laughing:
