    My very first snake!

    I brought home my very first snake yesterday from a local breeder - He's a normal male, about a month and a half old. He doesn't have a name yet - I had originally planned on calling him Loki, but the breeder had named him Bowser - I can't seem to decide! The 3/4 day before handling period is killing me ;_; He seems incredibly relaxed already, very reluctant to ball up. The only stressed behavior I've seen from him at all (when I reached in to give him some fresh water) was him puffing up just a bit - but even then, he didn't hiss or track my hand. I'm so excited to be able to interact with him.
