Hey, guys, how's it going? It's been a few weeks since I last posted (not that I'm a major poster and anybody noticed). I hope everyone had a good, safe holiday.

Since I last browsed here, I named my little legless love. He answers to "Freddie Mercury." He recently went through his first shed. It wasn't perfect but we're aiming for better one next time!

Anyway, I'm rambling. I have a question. My vet told me that feeding live is a huge contributor to head-shyness. In your experience, is this true?, i.e., are snakes that are fed live shyer than those fed P/K or F/T? I'm more curious than anything.

Freddie was pretty head-shy when I first got him on 11/18/07. But he's getting a lot better now; he lets me stroke the top of his head and his lower jaw and generally starts less when I make movements near his head. I feed live (he eats like a champ, under my strict supervision), for the record.

So, yeah, what's your opinion/experience?
