Thank you! It was definitely a relief for me when he responded to his food so immediately (and enthusiastically!). I felt pretty bad when I realized I might have been stressing him out, but luckily he seems to be a tough guy! He's just hanging out in his hide now digesting, but I'll make sure I wait until he's had a few more meals before handling again. I think I got a good one, though!
Thank you! I'm very excited to be an official snake owner now, and I already can tell that it's going to become an addictionOh well, guess there's no use fighting it now LOL
Also, I think I am going to have to build a lightbox and do some more research on macro lenses! I really enjoyed taking pictures of him; he's quite photogenic.
