    Juice, the Borneo Short Tail Python progression thread

    Since I finally decided on a name, I figured it was a good time to start a progression thread.
    I took him out for a few minutes to change his water and check him out, so I grabbed a few quick pics.
    I also added a few of my favorites from a previous thread.

    Sooooo...this is Juice, my Borneo Short Tail Python...

    He’s a stunner Craig. I especially like the color change in the tail!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Re: Juice, the Borneo Short Tail Python progression thread

    Updates have been slow because he's been a difficult eater. He's got an awesome temperament so far, but handling has been very limited. I had him out for a few minutes yesterday and snapped a few pics and got a weight on him. He's only lost about 5% body weight, so I'm not overly concerned yet, but seriously hoping he'll snap out of a winter food strike soon. Next offering is Wed night. Fingers crossed he starts eating sooner than later and packs on some weight, I wanna see this guy grow!! Plus, I want to be able to handle him more frequently. It's pretty amazing how differently he handles from any other snake I've ever handled. He doesn't wrap around my hands or arms AT ALL. Every other python, boa and colubrid I've handled wraps to hang on.
    Anyway, here's a few pics for now. More to come, I promise...

    Thank you. I had my mind made up that I was getting a BRB and my next snake after that would be a blood or STP....Then, just browsing morph market saw this guy and he flipped me. I contacted N.E.R.D. that day and picked him up the following day. So my next will be a BRB...or BCI...or...hahaha

    Nice looking STP! These guys are on my list for sure. The way you describe handling him sounds like handling my KSBs, they don't wrap at all and you just have to support them. I'm thinking it is because they don't climb at all in the wild and stay buried a lot of the time. From what I've been told, STPs, are very ground-dwelling animals too, so probably don't know to wrap to hold on to things.
    Currently keeping:
    1.0 BCA 1.0 BCI
    1.0 CA BCI 1.1 BCLs
    0.1 BRB 1.2 KSBs
    1.0 Carpet 0.5 BPs
    0.2 cresteds 1.2 gargs
    1.0 Leachie 0.0.1 BTS

    Yeah, these guys are definitely extremely terrestrial. Their heavy bodies aren't built for climbing, that's for sure.
    It almost surprised me that they don't wrap even a little, just instinctively if nothing else. But nope, nothing at all.
