I just don't want to take the snake out to weigh it and it being stressed and not eating since I weighed it and handled it...the snake isn't stressed when I take it out...climbs all over me and flicks it's tongue and checks me out...no hard breathing or anything...it's a really healthy sweet snake it seems like...I did get nipped at when I was cleaning the second day when I put my finger near it's warm side hide lol it struck and squeaked! I didn't know snakes squeaked!! Lol it didn't get me though...and no strikes since then when I cheated and handled it for about 5 min last night...lol
