Thank you all so much. went to pet store they knew nothing so your advice in invaluable. He seems to be doing well and tank is up to 80. i am curious why it is not advisable to handle him. trying to convince my 16 year old she cant hold her snake is not easy. we held him last night while getting his tank set up and instinctively trying to warm him and he seemed fine? also, will he continue to grow? thanks again
