i asked my son to hold him while i put more holes in his tub cause the humidity has been at 77 all day and he struck at my son but didnt get him..now he is scared to death of him..he told me to get rid of him..he never wants to touch it or be in the same room with him ever again...this sucks..i thought my son would be a snake lover..hopefully he will over come his fear..i kind of wish he would of tagged him so he could see that the bites dont hurt much and he has been through more pain when he split his lip in half or got 2nd degree burns on his hand..but hes not listening right now...
