Sorry could not get any pics. He was really jumpy today, and we put the viv on the bed when I take him out after a minute hu jumped into it, So have left him now. Something might have spooked him today, he was very unsettled. Im gonna leave him tommrow then try again monday |

he is an anmry I believe, Might have spelt that wrong, but he is orange red and peach! He is only a baby and the viv is a plastic tank from wilkos, its about 11 inch long 10 inches tall. Bam is about 12 inches long. I have an old fish tank in my partners parents loft thats 18 inches long, So if he gets a bit big I can move him to that one, till I get a 3 ft viv |

Once he was out he was fine, but I only handled him for a few mins before putting him in a box so I could clean his viv.
I have bought some beach chippings now. Putting him back was funny, he kept trying to climb back up my arm! I susspect the new bedding was a suprise to him! When I checked on him later he had wedged himself behind his hide, but made sure he was not touching the floor!!! He was fine an hour later, doing his usual, I will escape this place!! Ill try and get some pics tonight while I have him out, about time he made an apperance!
Aww thats so good i want to see the pics please upload some :P |

Oh right so does this mean i wont be able to play music from my 8.1 surround sound which is in the same room that is connected to a big subwoofer as this will disturb the snake right so i will have to turn the subwoofer off right although snakes are deaf they will feel the vibrations.
Well even if your snakes don't mind - I reckon your neighbours might! 
Seriously though, I would suspect long periods of sustained bass-booming may unsettle them a bit. I used to have the same concern with mine, but in the end the neighbours complained before the snakes so I sold my Jamos anyway 
I have no neighbours i have a detactched house 5 bed room and only 3 people live here lol its good for house partys :P so its not good to play music then ? if the snake in the same room  |

Yes thats right i read up on care sheet about this they feel secure in there hides and if there hides are too big for them it could make them feel insecure.  |

I lift up the hide and then leave my hand in front of them for a minute so they get my scent,then just pick them up. |

I'd just open the viv, and leave it a minute or to to see if snake decides to see what's going on. Then move the cave and wait until he looks like he's ready to be lifted up.
I personally wouldn't lift up a sleeping snake until you have a lot more confidence in yourself AND the snake. 1 of mine likes to wait until she's ready, if i try to lift her from her hides, I get headbutted. |
