Thanks. I grew up around a lot of wild snakes and was around them in programs such as 4-H but when I was 11 I had a cottonmouth in the wild try attacking me and...well, lets just say it left my love of snakes a little shaken. I'm hoping this BP helps break me of that. I'm used to dealing with aggressive pets of the cat, dog, etc variety so I don't think I'll have too difficult of a time... I just want this transition to go well for both of us.
I think we are definitely going to have to get him something bigger. Only concern so far is how terribly skinny his midsection is compared to snakes similar in length. At the largest part he is maybe 1.5" in diameter and that's max. Would he need to be worked up to something bigger?
Edit: He is approximately 3' long if that says anything about the 1.5" midsection.
