    Coming from you that is a great compliment!

    Checked his temps today before I left for work, he was over on his cool side and was acting a lot more curious than he normally does. I watched him for a minute after I checked everything and he ended up sticking his neck out of the tub with his chin on the front of my shirt and just sat there looking up at me. Slowly flicking his tongue. Not sure if he wanted to eat again (his last meal with the breeder before he came to me was on the 30th) or was just checking me out. I wanted to pick him up! It was really cool and I wish I got pics, now every time I check his temps I WILL have my phone on standby!

    My first snake is extremely tame and he wants to come out of his terrarium all the time! My 9 year old daughter can handle him and he is cool with it, he is so docile. Every time I open his rack, he tries to climb out onto my arm. He has very little fear. I attribute to my handling him fairly frequently since he was little. He knows my scent, and he know the humans in his environment are safe. He is SO CHILL with being pet, and he wants to come out all the time!

    The other new pythons I recently acquired don't know me yet, and haven't been handled and TAMED nearly as much, so they mostly hide from me. I will tame them though, it is just more work to spend time with them and tame them, when you have multiple snakes.
