Update time!

Cas is doing really well so far. He's taken 3 meals, all F/T hoppers, no trouble at all. The 3rd one, I caught him with his head up the front wall waiting for it and grabbed it as soon as it was into the gap I lifted the lid on the tub. Pretty powerful for his now 110 grams, but not yet more force than a ~1,350 gram adult BP. That'll change with time, I'm sure.
So far, I've found 2 poops, so everything is working good. No signs of mites (pre-treated with the P.A.M. before I bought him).

Due to some shuffling with the other snakes I needed to do, he's now upgraded hanging out in a 37-qt 6-latch sterilite gasket bin with reptile prime, still in the quarantine room. I'll drop a picture or two from mobile after this post goes up.


Now, oddball question for those of you who have had baby boas. Did any of them have any odd aversions to textures or touch?
He's just under 2 months old now, and he seems to not like touching arm hair on myself or my husband. If he touches his head to it on accident, he recoils from it and acts offended for a second, and then just moves on like nothing happened (and avoiding the arm/arm hair). If you set his front half onto the top side of an arm, he will gradually but promptly start lifting his whole front half a quarter inch or so off the surface of your arm, just past where he would touch the hair. He leaves his back half touching, but doesn't sit still there (nor much of anywhere else at this point). And if you bring an arm instead of a hand up under as he moves forward, he will back off from moving forward and just side-eye it like a dog poop on a sidewalk that you almost stepped into. It's the strangest thing.
It doesn't seem like it's a sign of any sort of problem, more like an odd quirk of personality and inexperience with the texture on his part. He does seem to be reacting less strongly the more we gently get him into contact with it, so I think it will go away with time, if not with him gaining size. Just wanted to know if anyone else has seen this in baby boas before?
