also i thought u were gonna name him Pineapple.

Edit: Happy National Pasta Day! aka Spaghetti Day. be sure to wish your lil one Happy Spaghetti Day!

after about 4 or 5 missed strikes and reheating, he finally got it off the tongs. (,;
i forget how derpy the youngin's are.

Heh, my corn snake would ONLY eat when he was young if I was holding him. He grew out of it and is the typical garbage disposal now. Different species obviously lol, but only similar thing I've heard of.

Glad he's eating (sometimes!) off of tongs now :D

He's stunning, also! All your snakes make me jealous!

awe, thank you!!! i appreciate your reply. it's such a weird baby-snake quirk that no one seems to talk about, but it's nice to hear other stories like this!

he's amazing - reminds me of a young Yellow - and i can't wait for him to get some more size on him!
