My Blood Python is doing well, he has never missed a meal and is on small rats now so I thought I'd post some pictures which I just took.

Everything is going good, I am going to upgrade him to a bigger tub soon, the only problem I have is his attitude, which seems common among Bloods.

He was the first snake I've had that acts very upset by my presence haha. When I reach in to get him he hisses a lot and lifts his head up towards me like he wants to tag me. He's never struck at me, or bitten me because I respect his boundaries, but I think I respect them a little too much, so lately I've been sucking it up and just picking him up and setting him in my lap. I don't really hold him, I mainly just let him sit in my lap with my hands cradling him because he acts scared and huffy puffy so I don't hold him in the air or pick him up until he calms down and uncoils his next from the S pose and starts moving around.

Is this the right thing to do? I stopped holding him for a little while because I don't like freaking him out, but then I realized I don't want a huge snake that is terrified of me in a couple years so I should hold him every now and then right?

Well here is the picture
Thought I got more but all the pics I thought were good were blurry because of my iphone T_T
