I feel so bad be I was misinformed of their adult weight. But because of your great advice it's getting easier and easier. Minimal huff and puff. Haven't been bitten yet but those shifty eyes put the fear of God in me lol! Held him today with no huffs or hisses and he was calm for a whole minute lol Baby steps! How do you get yours to sir for pictures? Sorry this post is so long.

    By the time your blood is an adult providing you maintain your handling schedule ( don't get lazy and wane off the frequency etc) you will be able to read its postures and have a solid handle on its quirks and shifty looking glances that currently make you a bit uneasy no doubt.

    If you find that you don't get to that place for some reason you might end up with a snappy aggressive snake which does not feel at ease with you due to your own nervousness and hesitation.

    Relax when you have it out and the snake will follow suit in most cases just enjoy the process of learning and getting to know it and about it.
    There is a moose loose aboot this hoose !
