I was looking through my photos today and took some similar shots today, almost three months later. This makes Orwell about 7 or 8 months old.
First day I got him, sitting in my hand scared half to death


Learning what the camera is, first day again


This picture is from today, very similar:


Notice how his skin is tighter and he is rounder (and bigger! He has grown!)



First week


Today!
It may not seem like much to you guys, but after my first snake experience went so badly I wasn't sure I could do well at all. It's so nice to see that my boy is healthy and growing in the home I have given him. His movements have become much stronger and he has become much calmer since coming to live with us. I still wouldn't recommend ANYONE go through what I went through, though. Buy from a breeder you have researched and researched well, please!
Orwell is a male CH normal, and in my opinion he's as cute as a button!
Bonus periscoping shot (this is my absolute favourite behaviour - how cute!)

hay guys what's going on?

And for all of you D&D fans, I just got this in today too
