Great video and gorgeous snake! Ok so this is a fascinating topic for me and I'm a complete noob...we have had our beautiful pied for one week exactly. He is roughly 200g. And I'm quite sure he literally wants to eat me alive. No hissing, no striking but I haven't really held a snake in 12 years so the couple times I've had him out I am nervous as h*** and expecting him to bite me at any moment. We have had him out twice (my 6yr old and I). Maybe 5-10 min each time. First time he was ok....exploring a bit, second time he seemed tense and stayed tightly wrapped around my hand. I seriously was expecting him to attack the whole time. Sweating lol.
His warm side hide is a log and cool side is a pyramid and he stays in that...it's kinda heavy and I take it off him to get him out but it's cumbersome. Looks cool though.
He has hammered two rat F/T in past week but we gotta wait 48 hrs ideally to hold him after he eats, right? So that really only leaves 3-4 day window to handle before next feeding right? I need to figure this paranoia of getting bit out lol. My daughter loves him and she is too young (6 yrs) to really understand snappy, etc....I really don't want her to get tagged or bit for fear that it may affect her wanting to hold him. Right now she LOVES him. Thanks for the video and insight!!
