Beautiful snake. He looks so relaxed in the photos. You can almost see the curiosity on his face in the photo of him in your hands.

Re: A new Herp!
The prices at the show really weren't bad. Plus most of them dealt. I didn't pay 700 for him like he asked, I waited until the show was starting to wind down a bit, where they probably weren't going to be selling, and then started dealing, all in all it worked out. He came out of his hut last night finally to explore a bit, and I was like a kid in a candy store man. I was stoked! BTW, I want to switch over to frozen thawed for him, just because I really don't wanna risk any injuries to his beautiful self. Anyone have any tips on the best way to make the switch?

Re: A new Herp!
Feeding live responsibly has little risk associated with it. Most injuries from live prey come when the rat is too big for the snake, or the handler leaves the snake unattended during feeding. I have one live and 7 F/T feeders, I would love to have 8 F/T feeders but it just wasn't happening. There are many threads available here on the different tactics to try and switch them but at the end of the day persistance is key.
