Here are some new pictures of my BP that I got on 7/14/15 at 90 grams. He was 103 grams on 8/12, had a mouse that day and one on 8/17 so is probably 110-115 now. I tried to weigh him yesterday, but he got smart and wrapped around his tree stump. The first four mice were taken every seven days. He never hesitated so the fifth mouse was given at five days no problem and I'll keep him on that schedule until he hits 400 grams. Orochimaru is really living up to his name, very hissy and doesn't like to be handled. I was only handling him once a week. Now that I have a snake hook I handle him more. I haven't tried holding him with just my hands for longer than it takes to move him to a different container when I'm cleaning. He's still really defensive, guess he's still in that stage at his age and weight. I've learned to read his body language better and can get him out of strike mode before he tries to bite me. His first shed with me went okay. It started the night of 8/4. The belly, head, and upper neck piece came off the first night. Most of it was gone two days ago, the last little piece came off today. I'm really considering just getting a pvc setup so I won't have to worry about humidity as much. They are not nearly as expensive as I thought.
Here are some random pictures:
This was yesterday when he didn't want to be weighed, but still wanted to know when I was giving him a mouse.
Orochimaru likes to redecorate
He likes climbing the suction cups a lot. I just got him one of those Fluker's spring action fake bamboo poles. Right now he's still digesting that mouse, so he hasn't checked it out yet.
Guess Accurite can advertise it as a thermometer/hygrometer/snake head rest
