Chompy had mellowed a bit, I've handled him with no aggressive response, but doing tub cleaning today he was back to his old snappy self.
He has shed once, he's a great feeder so far, being the one of my three babies that will take FT. I got a little collapsible hook to make dealing with him easier, and to help with another one I got that makes Chompy seem like a wallflower.
I'll take snakes with a strong feeding response any day. Most learn how to be pets later anyway...they need to be snakes first & self-defense is just normal instinct.
