That could totally be it I have been trying to give him his space he’s very well mannered but he extremely nervous around people doesn’t like to be seen much. And yes that is definitely a topic for another time lol! I guess I didn’t notice at first his eyes were blue his skin has a sheen to it but not like my bull snakes or hognoses hopefully that has something to do with his appetite because he has taken f/t for me after being fed live mice since he was born which I am very happy about!
