    More clean up, and sometimes I get annoyed handling him. Usually its good, but occasionally he starts out great and then becomes a juggling act. He's really a good boy for the most part, but I'm very partial to boa constrictors and carpet pythons.

    The extra precaution I have to take is due to the insane feeding response. If it is close to feeding day or shortly after, a noise on the side of the cage will cause a rapid advance to the door.

    Nothing too difficult, but you really do have to stick to protocol to make sure you don't take a bite.

    I wish you had the littermate too so we could compare notes, but Sauzo is my man when it comes to the Vital Exotics SD x Dwarf stuff these days.

    You keep doing what you are doing, I think your decision was the right move at this stage.

    At this point your collection is equal to mine with 4 snakes. We differ only in the retic and WL python species we own.

    I even have two dogs. I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of pets here.

    One more of Wallace that I didn't post when he was out and about the other day.

    Yes, very similar collection. I also care for a crested gecko but he's my son's so I don't include him. WOW... Wallace looks great Gio.
