Hello!

I have held my snake several times last week and this week, and he seems quite inquisitive, as whenever i look in the tank, he is hidden in his hide, but with his head poking out.

However, when i open the tank, and try and get him out, he, moves back into his hide, and seems quite scared.

When i try and get him out, he seems fine, after i lift up his hide and pick him up.

I was just wondering how i could get him to be more relaxed around me...

Its a snake, it will always be scared of you. It will never appreciate you being there .

To try to spook it less, dont move you hands above it, pick it up from the side. Also try handling it when its already active and moving.

ok, but the only thing is that it is never moving. It is always hidden in its hide, and i cant even see it.

If it is out and moving and i decide to get it out, it will more straight back into its hide.

I will persevere and hopefully it will get more used to me.
