If you know me, then you know I love to tell stories about everything. So here it goes. Enjoy!

To start off, the reason he doesn't get any attention is because he is been nothing short of mean. I got him from a really good guy and takes really good care of his snakes. I was told how tame he was and how handleable he was.

The last time I got pictures was when he arrived months and months ago (last April to be exact). The snake was so stressed out that he would go into a striking frenzy. I got tag by him multiple times. He would flee and attack at the same time . (Never seen this before so I was at a lost of what to do). Kept getting some advice from some of my RTB friends but nothing seemed to work.

Well, I moved him out of quarantine recently. Started spending a lot of time talking to him, touching him (which he would freak out about), holding other snakes in front of him, and everything. I couldn't even take him out of his cage for cleaning he was so bad. I got very inventive with cleaning. I also upped his prey size to the next size (medium rats). Figured maybe if he was ultra full, he wouldn't have the need to attack...lol

About a week ago, he was moving around his cage for really the first time since his arrival. He looked so beautiful, but yet so evil at the same time. lol I had this feeling that if I opened his cage, he might just crawl out onto my hand. Even though I had this feeling, I just didn't really feel like getting bit so I just watched him and left him alone.

Later that night, I had a dream that I held him and took him outside for pictures. I told my husband and he just laughed at me because it was obviously a dream. This snake will never be outside for pictures because he is such a jerk (but the other word forbidden on here..lol). So, I kept telling my husband and even told some friends that I needed to try to get him out because of that dream. It made me feel so much more confident.

Well, today was cleaning day. I got all the snakes out except the suri and the roswell (she is not much different from him but easier to move around, hence the lack of pictures of her also). I told Chris, I AM getting the suri out today. I got a HUGE gray tub to toss him into if I needed to. Chris just was like...um...ok.

I told Chris to back up, I reached in, tossed a pillow case over him (which never has worked before) and pulled him out. He didn't flee!!!! I just stood there with him in strike mode without him actually striking. Then he started moving around and exploring. I started getting excited. I held him for a while in the house and the whole time I wanted to jump up and down (but I had my evil snake on me and he wasn't being so evil so I had to refrain).

I got him outside for some pictures!!!! Yay!!! Yay!!! Yay!!! Yay!!! Can't you just feel how excited I am about this!!!!!

After leaving this snake alone for almost 5 months, I got to finally hold him and get some pictures. My dream was accurate. My dream told me it was time. (Now, let's just hope my tornado dream from last night doesn't come true....tornado watch today also...yikes!)

So here are some pictures noone has seen before!!!!













Now let's hope he breeds for me this year with Julliet!!! I am not going to lie, I was worried about how I was going to move him into her cage and out of it...lol But now, I know this IS going to happen on my part. Hoping it will happen on theirs.
