Hello and progress thread

To start he’s a pretty awesome looking pied! Members have laid out two good points and a fair time to offer food. I would always feed in the enclosure, just works for me. Anytime I’ve been struck is because I have my hand in there with a rat present. I’m sure if you don’t lose focus like me and pull your hand out you’ll be fine lol. I would also like to add that you want to stick to the same prey item the seller was offering. Just helps in getting him to eat for you.

Honestly I’m a bit surprised that there would be so much consensus around feeding in the enclosure. I was planning to feed him in a tub but I think I’ll try feeding in the enclosure. I definitely see the risks of moving the snake after a feed.

Isn’t he gorgeous? I remember the first time I ever saw a pied it literally took my breath away. I still think even regular old pieds are so beautiful. That’s not to say I wouldn’t love to have something a little bit snappier as well down the line but he is a nice looking boy! I can’t wait for him to get settled so I can handle him.
