Soon to be new guy
He's been sitting in this very crappy place with no heat source for God only knows how long. He/she even had another snake in the enclosure which unfortunately passed away a couple weeks ago. I don't think it's ever been taken out other than for moving and cleaning. Not a lot of muscle, it's just squishy. I've been cleaning these snakes for the past few months, I just started truly interacting with this guy after the "buddy" died and I had to take him out for a mass enclosure clean, I've been incredibly intimidated by them due to the lack of handling, so I never messed with them, plus I've been struck at a bunch. Finally the person is getting rid of the snakes, for free I might add, but the enclosure with him is a hundred bucks. It's an old AP enclosure I believe, so not bad. It's due for a good scrub down when I finally take this guy home.
Overall he's chilling out. I've not been struck at out of the enclosure, but I've recieved some major huffs and intimidating stares, I still don't really trust moving my hand anywhere near his head or anything, but we'll be good buds I'm sure. 😁
Can't wait to get him out and moving around more often so he can muscle up, and to give him a better life.

Re: Soon to be new guy
Thanks guys. :3 I'm excited to get him home, unfortunately I can't do that until the end of June, but still! I've always wanted a Blood, he's a Borneo, but same difference! ... I still want a Blood, though. 😊 I should ask if this if this guy's actually a guy... and how old he is.

Re: Soon to be new guy
So amazing and congratulations!! I can see why you would be a bit intimidated but I bet over time he will calm right down and trust you completely. Get some muscle on the gorgeous reptile!

Re: Soon to be new guy
When I first take him out of the enclosure I can already see improvement, and I've only had him pit just a few times! He used to endlessly huff and puff when I hooked him (maybe one day I'll be able to just reach in and get 'im, but that is not any time soon LOL) and he'd move away and half sorta flail his fat body around. When I took him out for that first photo I had zero protest from him. Not even a huff.
I really expected a much stronger snake the first time I got him out, because I expected this snake of pure muscle like the big boas, but he is so easy to handle even when he's being difficult. Maybe I'll shove him in a little tree and really make him have a good workout, haha. 😁 Him and me both will be musclin' up this summer, I'm getting a little squishy as well. 😶
