Atleast then I'd have an active forum to read about it.
Well, I guess I'll make my contribution.
My Anaconda is quickly taming down. He still isn't too crazy about being held (But *very* rarely attempts to bite) He does, however, make an attempt to get away. He tames down quickly if you give him something to hide under (Or let him sit in a place he feels secure -- he'll sit around my neck for hours every day)
The other day, I was watching a movie, trying to hold him a bit and he was trying his hardest to get away. Finally (I was laying in bed) I let him slither under the sheets and he squeezed and fought his way to get under ME. It was the strangest feeling I've ever felt in my entire life to have a snake slither around under my back. But after he got comfortable, he stayed there for quite some time, never moving.
During another movie, he was acting similiar after he got sick of my neck. So again, I let him slide under the blanket and he just sat on my stomach, under the blanket for all 2 1/2 hours. I put my hands on him in an attempt to get him a little more used to me/keep him warmer (It was kind of cool) and he made no reaction to move.
So I guess he's slowly getting used to me.
He still hasn't shown interest in eatting (I haven't been trying very hard to get him to do it, though) but I'm not worried about that, snakes can go for quite some time before it becomes serious.
Overall, I'm absolutely loving every minute I own this snake. While I liked my Red tail, it just wasn't all that interesting. It would rarely move more than an inch or two. It would put the sloth to shame.
This guy, while no kingsnake in terms of activity, atleast moves around in his cage and actually uses the large water dish I provided to soak.
I also kind of let him soak in our bath tub (Even though it's way too big for him at the moment) only because I was cleaning his cage. Just sat there, never attempted to get out. Although, he left a nice little suprise in there when I came back in the form of a brownish lump.
Good thing I let him soak in the tub, I'd hate to have freshly cleaned his enclosure only to have him defecate in there minutes after putting him back in.
