Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

[dakski]

Feliz shed! He was in blue last Tuesday when he ate. I've been pretty much leaving him alone, and letting him settle in, so I wasn't 100% sure on the impending shed, but I was keeping humidity over 70% as opposed to over 60%, just in case.

He had a perfect, one piece, shed!

He's had two meals now, one shed, and seems settled in great. I am going to start gentle handling sessions a few times a week with him. In the limited handling I have done with him, he's a total sweetheart, but continuing to build trust with him can only help enforce that.

I got some pictures last night with my iPhone, but plan to get some more with my DSLR and better light ASAP.

Additionally, my Aunt and Uncle spent the last night with me and Katie on short notice on their way up to Maine to see their son, daughter in-law, and grandkids. My aunt Robin, who I am not sure ever held a snake, held both Feliz and Behira (see pictures in Behira's thread and really loved them) and my Uncle Al, who would not hold Behira, or even touch her, and was a little afraid, ended up holding Feliz. He did great. He was scared at first, but ended up doing well. I had explained "happy tongue" to both of them. Al held Feliz while Katie and Robin went upstairs to feed the dogs. At one point, while I was taking the pictures of him holding Feliz, Al got scared and said, "He's not flicking his tongue!" I explained that was okay, and he was just chilling out. I went over and tapped him and he went back to "happy tongue" and Al was relived. .
