He was fed the day I picked him up. (Monday) The guy that gave him to me said the snake eats about once a month and he feeds him 5-6 mice in one feeding. He also told me not to pick him up for 3 days. This is the first day I've even touched him. I wanted to try to give him some time to start getting used to my house. He's decent sized. I've never seen him stretched to see how long he was but I'm assuming he's around 4 to 4 1/2 foot long. The guy I got him from said he had only bit him once and that was when he was a hatchling and the guy was feeding him. The guy told me that George (snake) was pretty laid back.
