Hello all! I think I know most of you already. First time snake owner! Finally picked up my snaby today and I can honestly say this is a dream come through. Still not solid on the name yet but I’m thinking Leonard Nipples, Lenny for short. Anyways this little guy came from a previous owner who got him from a local breeder. He’s a year old and very friendly, 2 ft long. His previous owner says he eats like a champ which I can believe because he looks a little chubby to me! But we’ve got a vet visit scheduled for a couple weeks from now so the vet will let me know how his condition is. He’s just a plain ol’ pied but he is so gorgeous. It’s really a shame, my camera just can’t do him justice, it washes out all the orange and warm tones. Anyways, happy to finally be here!
Um first time mom question, when should I give him his first feed? Also what are the opinions around here about feeding in the enclosure (“tat”) or out of? I think I’m inclined to pull him and keep the feeding to a designated feeding tub so he doesn’t get defensive when I reach into his enclosure.
