Bite me!

She also said (the woman i got him from; she said its a him) this stuff below:

He is approx. 6 years old (he is def. male, and is approx. 6 years old, I had a friend at the herp society sex him for me and get an approx. age.).

I feed him one adult rat every other week.

Does it seem right that this snake could be 6 years old and only this big??? :weirdface

do these snakes grow slowly? :confused:

sounds like its growing as slow as a rose hair tarantula

(and yes people i know these are 100% different animals no need to get into all that its just a general growth comparising. stating that rose hairs take forever to get big)

As soon as they realize that you are not a predator, you can usually free handle them just as you would any other constrictor....Hope this helps

this is exactly how i have to handle my blood scoop from the bottom VERY slowly i pet him a little till he stops hissing then i scoop and never touch his tail or head he hates it and will light you up if u go there with him. other than that u respect him and he is the most gentle thing in the world.
