In my experience with Champ, that while he was confident as baby, when he hit around the 3 year-3ft mark he really blossomed. He stopped burying so much and was more apt to be seen laying stretched out in the open or on top of his hides. At the the current age of 4 yrs he is always up for coming out to be handled or explore the house and yard.(under close supervision of course). He is a very slow and deliberate moving snake. IMHO Dums are excellent candidates to be tap trained due to being almost exclusively ambush predators. I don’t have any really decent pics of him but here’s one from a few days ago out in the backyard

Its funny you say that because I feel like my girl is in the transition phase. She almost 2 and doesn’t bury herself nearly as much and seems to greet me at the cage door as to say ok dad let me out already.
