    Re: Phantom: Super Ghost BCI Progression Thread

    It’s fairly common for a shedding snake to refuse food, and you can see the blue eyes in the photo. If they do take, their striking behavior is much reduced.

    I’ve noticed most boas’ eyes don’t go completely blue like other snakes. I have some photos on my laptop of my boas in deep blue, and their eye coloring is still very apparent even at the height of milkines.

    The nose bumping is pretty normal behavior for most snakes. If you’re talking about them almost dragging their head across, bumping their nose up along the way? It’s way for them to feel for a place to grip, and when they do they will squeeeeze, or flop around if they still feel they are falling. I generally just guide my hand to their head and roll it into their coils as they come to wrap around. If they’re especially nervous, they’ll bite as soon as they feel you touch them, but usually this calms them right down.

    He’s looking good as ever!
