hello friends, I feel that the automatic translator did not work, it moan, the problem with my serpent is that this whole the day hidden in a box in the terrarium, I have it recently and when I am going to take it this very nervous as much that it always defecates in my hands, eats well, but one does not take a walk by the terrarium, as I say to this whole the hidden day.Thanks

If spanish is your native language, please write your post in spanish, I am fluent in spanish, and I think that I could respond to your post better if it was written in spanish.

Is your difficulty that the snake hides a lot? Is it that it defecates? or is there some other difficulty?

Kings dont do alot of moving around the cage. Its very normal for him to stay in his hide 90% of the time. They do come out when they are hungry though. As far as the defecating when you hold him that sometimes goes away as the snake gets more used to its new home. If you just want to see the snake then pick him up dont wait for him to come out of his hide as you may be there awhile.

since you have only had him or her for 2 weeks, he may need time to aclimate (get used to) in his new environment. it is normal for the cal king to remain in his hide box. it is its sense of feeling secure and out of site. it is a natural instinct in the wild for snakes to remain out of sight from predators. cal kings especially hatchlings wil spend most of there time hiding. young cal king yearlings/hatchlings are usually a little nervous, however after frequent handling they calm down, especially as they become sub adult/adults. check the temps, and make sure his environment is correct. try placing the pinkie in or at the entrance of his hide box at night and give him provacy and he will probably take he pinke, let me know what happens dave

I will try to improve my English writing, i understand english,but writing a letter or post its more to me after more 5 year with no practice them.see you thanks
