Actually Neptune was being pretty good for these. Only got a few because Karen's not as crazy about taking photos as I am. He's wrapped around me and he threw his usual "OMG UR TOUCHING ME!" fit when we took him out, but as you can see he calms down pretty well once he's out... I just don't trust him enough not to use the gloves. Wish it was at a better angle so you can see his length.







I have a good grip but keep having to readjust. The hardest thing really is putting him back! He's everywhere and I have to get his whole long butt back in the cage before I can close it, lol. He doesn't fall for the "straight into the hide" trick Ma-tsu does.



"Well, I never!"

So long as I keep an eye on his head, the rest of him gives me a nice back massage, lol! His strikes have gotten more lazy and he doesn't inflate as much as he used to or give those massive fire hose hisses! I'm proud of him. He's still a brat who only eats every other week or so (getting tired of wasting rats...) but he's definitely calming down!
