He is a very neat snake, Judy. Pictures don't do him justice. He's very iridescent, and his belly is a little more orange than it looks in the photo. He feels like a silk cord when I'm holding him and he's running through my fingers and up my arm. I wish I had more photos to share, Marla, but the little guy is almost never still, so he makes it really difficult to get good shots of him. I keep trying though. I'll post them when I have them.
