" He also rarely comes out of hiding, I never see him unless I go looking for him. Does this mean he is stressed?

He always tries to escape constantly when I'm holding him, but never gets aggressive toward me. Is this normal? "



You are doing everything right, and he is doing what a lot of snakes do, which is hiding, and then moving a lot when you hold him. All normal. You are being a good keeper, he is being a normal snake.



Each snake is an individual. Some will do what you described, some won't. I see both sides of the equation in my collection, and have all of my life.



No need to ever apologize for asking questions, as no matter how long you have been in this hobby, new questions will always emerge.



Congrats on your snake!!
