Sorry - my computer wasn't cooperating for a couple of days. Dakota and I are getting along fairly well! I still haven't made the big pick up, but the other night after he ate, he was slithering into a hide and I just let him slide through my fingers. He moved quickly - probably because he had just eaten - but it was kind of cool! I know he can't hear, but I love to talk to him and he will sometimes stick his head out of a hide seemingly listening. Tomorrow I have to clean out his home. He's really so cute!

I know I should have someone around who knows what they're doing when I take him out, but I don't know anyone who's experienced with snakes. Of all the people I know, I'm the only one with a snake - it's probably just my circle of friends!
