Hey guys hope i can get some advice bout slims rattling.

Ive had him for a month now so that makes him bout 3 months old (i think). When i go into his viv to get him he always rattles his tail at me, he also does it sometimes when i have him out if i make a sudden movement or touch him when he doesnt realise it. He has never tried to strike at me tho.

I get him out every day except the day after feeding so its not like hes not used to it. Will he stop or have i got a rattler or am I expecting too much too soon???

It's just the snake being defensive out of fear, but I wouldn't worry babies always do this generally. It sort of immitates a rattle snake. Quite normal.

Sure he will grow out of it as he gets used to being handled.

As long as you're handling him calmly and confidently and don't give him any surprises he should settle.
