    Smile 1-2 month old Northern Pine Snake (Genesis)

    She's hatched July 15th and I got her on August 11th. She's already eating four mouse fuzzies a week (two per meal)! Her parents are on the large side too.

    Very docile and chilled out individual, especially for a hatchling! When I reach in and clumsily try to pick her up, she doesn't move away, just lets me do whatever. When out of the enclosure, she usually just sits in my hand without a care in the world, nothing seems to faze her. Sometimes slithering a bit and doing a lookaround. Also sits in my lap and stays there. No heavy breathing, no flightiness! Just a fearless and confident thing.

    Her only quirk is if my hand approaches from directly behind her head, it creeps her out and she rattles her tail. But if my hands are moving from the side/front, I could be flapping my arms and she's totally fine with it.

    These pics are in order of growth in only the past 3 weeks. Notice the banding on her face has faded!

    Awesome snake, ADORABLE photos! -but where's the one of you "flapping your arms"? I love the whole Pituophis family, they're bold chow-hounds

    I forgot to mention that she used to rattle a bit when I try to pick her out of the tub, but now she doesn't at all like I wrote in my first post. It's kind of rewarding even seeing that small difference in her learning that I'm harmless.

    She totally comes across as intelligent! probably due to their good eyesight too, and we see they can watch things from afar.

    Yesssss!! I remember being so hyped when you told me you got her! And you got the best hatchling out of the clutch! She was total destiny!

    I still can't get over how adorable and amazingly chill she is - AND BIG! Especially since she and Kallari are pretty much the same age haha

    I love Genesis ;_;
