Well he's here and I am in looooove! I have ball python that's been kicking around in his hiding spots for almost a year now. He's never particularly excited to see me nor be handled, but he is a gentle fellow so I can't complain.
As soon as I opened the bag on this little guy, who has since been named Ludo, he was slithering out to explore as fast as he could. I hadn't handled him aside moving to his enclosure until this evening as I wanted to let him accomodate and get a meal in him first. He's had a full 48 hours since the meal that he absolutely ATTACKED like a boss. I squealed because it was such a contrast to Juju (bp) who barely strikes his food and often seems afraid of it even (Such a weenie!) Ludo will celebrate his first birthday in the end of May and he's such a little thing, though he is quite healthy (very bread loaf in shape and no excessive loose skin). I'm amazed at how much he grips onto my hands, and how curious he seems to be, not to mention the complete lack of any sort of head shy behavior. Seriously guys... had I known how gentle and laid back boas were I think I may have skipped the bp. (Not to say Mr. Scaredy Pants will be loved any less.)
