I've had Dante for almost three weeks. He's shed, feeds eagerly, and he's a delight!
He'll be one year old in July, and he's such a tiny noodle right now! Looking forward to him being a little more substantial as I'm always worried I'll be too heavy-handed with him.
So Dante is under a year old. He's about 1.5ft right now and very slender. I've had him for just over a week.
I didn't handle him in his first week, but did feed him four days in as he seemed to be looking for food. He's eating well, has shed, is pooing.
Trying to handle him for a few minutes every day (except for when he's fed). He's quite jumpy. Since this is my first baby snake I just wanted to check if there was anything else I could be doing to socialise him?
First snake in about 18 years - my last was a house snake. I saw this little guy and had to get him. Tessera hypo morph male, just under a year old. We're calling him Dante (after both Alghieri and Rossetti 😁).
