Orientation Week

The first week after we brought him home was a tad anxious for the both of us (moreso for me, really). As expected, he was fairly cranky. It made cleaning a bit difficult, I will admit.

This is one of the calmer shots.

But after a while he'd settled in and was happy to take in the sights and smells of his new home.

Thankfully he fed pretty much the night after he'd come home - the breeder had informed us that he hadn't eaten for 10 days when we picked him up. He was noticably less cranky the day after.

Food baby!

 Two days after his feed we deemed him settled enough to start handling. It was nerve-wracking, picking him up with my own hands for the first time! He's quite scared a lot of the time - understandably so - but if you're gentle and patient he shows a lot of curiousity.

Although there was this one time he got a little spooked and flung himself out of Johno's hand back into his box, landing face first into the water dish. Silly snake.
