Congratulations.
Sometimes it does take longer to figure out the needs and habits of a particular snake. My adult wild caught female is a good example of this. I've had her for over a year now, and we are still learning from each other.
I am glad you stuck it out. Many people would get frustrated and quit, either by neglecting the snake or giving it to someone else. The measure of a true keeper I believe lies in the willingness to deal with the difficult cases. While badly neglected rescues are not for everyone, there is a certain satisfaction earned by learning how to reach the animal and then helping it blossom. Not that I'm suggesting yours was neglected, just kind of an example. Sometimes something as common as buying a snake from a petstore can end up being a long and difficult road to travel.
