I'm new, pretty much to everything, the forums, snakes as pets, etc. However, my husband and I bought a baby Anerythristic Honduran Milksnake, and King is beautiful.
We've had both of them (King, and a black and white banded Cali King Snake named Queenie)for about a week now. King pretty much stays hidden under his water container. I make sure I take them both out a few times a day, a few minutes at a time.
King defecated on me the first time I handled him, but thankfully has quit that. He's still nippy though, and very tense when I hold him. I've noticed also his breathing is increased as well, when I'm holding him. With all these signs, I'm guessing he's pretty scared still.
Any idea how long it will take till he's used to being handled?
Queenie's taken to being handled almost immediately.
