Took Starbuck out, even though he is in blue.
Unless he is digesting, he comes out every morning - we hang out over coffee.
Never seen a calmer, gentler animal in my life.

I know their eyes are supposed to clear before shed, but he seemed itchey. He kept trying to rub his rostrum against my hands (they are dry, and rough as sand paper, but to no avail). This will be his first shed with me; he lives in high-desert now, and he came from Florida, so I'm a little concerned. (I had daily nose bleeds when I first arrived here from HI) The viv gets misted daily, the screen top is covered, and he has a humid hide.

He is due for his mouse tomorrow, but that will have to wait. I keep him on a ten day feeding schedule, per instructions in Soderberg's book re. mature males.

Came into an unexpected gift, and have a bit of "fun money." Another viv and corn? VMS has a lovely FL Keys locality - but it is also het for other genetics, and maybe if I want to get into localities, I should go for pure strains from dedicated locality breeders? Furthermore, I already have perfection in this cornsnake, and maybe shouldn't push it. Was thinking an alt would be a small locality boa.
