My little man.

I figured I would update those of you who so kindly helped me out with my little guy when I first got him. He is now eating adult mice once a week. I have more picks to share if you would like to see them. Thank you all again for all the help.

Soooooo tiny! I remember when Riddle was that small.

He's a little cutie. Only about 6 months old. I can't wait for him to grow.

I'm hoping dinner isn't too big for him. He seems to be having some issues this time.

He got it down and is now resting comfortably in his enclosure. He's a happy little man.

He looks great!! Glad he's eating regularly for you!! Just curious, why are you feeding him outside of his enclosure?

It was recommended to feed outside so when he gets older he doesn't mistake our hands a food. I don't want my kids getting bit. They want to try feeding him now that I have him on a regular schedule and he's doing well. I was able to feed him by hand. Last night was the first time I held the mouse by its tail and he took is. It was awesome. I'm hoping the more I do it, as he gets older he well continue to take it.

Bad advice and poor choice if your goal is to not have hands bit! There's no need to add the stress of a seperate feeding area. I'd also get hemostats to offer food from. No good will come of sticking your hand in there with a rat after a couple thousand more grams.

I was doing the same thing, but i stopped because there is no benefit in feeding outside the enclosure, if its feeding time, the snake will smell a rat, if its playtime with your kids the snake will not smell a rat and he will not bite. Moving the snake for feeding may even cause the snake to go off feed. About the hand feeding, think about it this way, if you hand feed, he is gonna associate hands with.......yes, food. But if he sees feeding tongs when its feeding day then you will never have a bite to you or your kids. He might miss the rat and get your hand, because its also warm and it will also smell like rodent. I feed with tongs and gloves. A bite from them at that size its not really painful, but once he gets older its not gonna be really fun.
