This is what i'm thinking. The unknown is the scariest part. I mean he has never really showed aggression other than hissing in the beginning when trying to pick him up however now he doesn't really do it. I think things are going great since he ate F/T the first time for me, has had 2 successful feedings and his first giant poop that unfortunately my wife had to deal with since i was at work haha. I just want that first tag out of the way lol. I work in surgery and have had a surgeon accidentally stab me with a scalpel which i know is 100x worse than what the snake can do
