Right Bailey has been out the last 5 days when we are all around and generally being very brave so last night I decided to open the viv and see how he would react
He came straight out determinded to have a look around 
I let him free roam about under careful eye of course and then braved it enough to pick him up and OMG I cant explain how excited I was he went straight down my top lol it was prob one of the best things ever ( not because he went down my top I am not that kind of weirdo  !!!)
So I am very happy now that I know he is happy and relaxed, still hasn't fed yet but I know that will come in time, he hasn't maintained his rather chunky frame by starving himself |

| Careful with the free roaming, they are quick when they want to be but congrats on the first hold. |

| I know I was nervous about that to be honest as he is deceptivley quick for such a big boy but feeling a little bit smug too as my comfidence was starting to get a bit shaky I think it was more the fact of how big he is and was questioning myself a little on why I didn't just buy a baby still all or nothing my new motto in life |

| I've let Dakota have a roam on the living room floor, under a very watchful eye, she's very nosy indeed, the 2 cats walk by behind me not even a twig of interest that somethings moving on the floor, with my cats if it doesn't buzz or smell of cat nip or treats they def aint interested lol |
  
Dakota ~ Bloodred Corn ~ Amber & Chloe ~ Cats
Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes. |

I really would not recommend letting a tiny 3 month hatchling free roam around your floor!! Even more so with cats in the room. Unless you have managed to train every bit of feline instinct out of them, it's very risky!
The sanke in the OP is a 4ft adult! |

| Was only the once Lou so I could take an over head picture to measure her, thought id closed the living room door properly, then cats were not meant to get back in the room at the time. |

Hehehe it's all those smells that make them go aa bit quick ^^ Yu shouldn't feel nervous tough, you're less likely to get bittem by an older snake than a baby snake XD

| Staple I'm not going to loose her, I'm not that daft, cats sneaked back in and she went straight back to faun, I only wanted an overhead pic so I could measure her! |

Its not a criticism, if you read your original post you said have a roam around the living room and said about 2 cats been in the room, if I'd have read it I'd have warned you against this too, you'd have warned me too if it was the other way round, cats can and do kill snakes.
I put my lot down on the ground for photos or on the sofa too, you just have to be very careful. |

I never said you was! I was just telling you to be careful! The people that lost theirs didn't think they would loose them either that's all. |

| I didn't mean I let her roam round the whole living room, how stupid do you think I am, she was on the floor well away from furniture, doors etc and I was kneeling down beside her taking over head pictures for like minutes, the living room door was not fully on the latch and cats nudged it open and I put her straight back. I have a lot more common sense that some of the people who have lost their snakes! |

I only mentioned someone lost their snake there's due to letting them slither, theres no need to go off on one o.o; |
