what a cool snake,,,he has a huge head for a little guy and doesnt seem aggressive at all,,of course he is prally cold since hes been shipped. looks like he is going to shed his eyes are clouded. i cant wait to fatten him up,,,he sais i will need to tease feed him if i use fresh killed. so i wonder if if i should get a few live meals in him before i start changing him over to frozen,,,,if he will even eat live? i dunno let me know what you guys think all that matters right now is to let him be for a week i guess and i have his sterilite perfect.

Thanks
Jeff

Welcome to the world of bloods, now theres no turning back.Hey, I would feed him a couple live rat fuzzies, then switch over to fresh kill.Bloods tend to like them prekill anyway, but babies they tend to take live for their first few feeds.Let us know how he's doing, offer him one in a couple of days.My last two babies I've gotten have eaten for me the next day.I got lucky I guess,becasue sometimes you'll get those stubborn ones.Good luck, take some pics and share.Later, Ethan
