Picked him up this afternoon, he's very inquisitive, very friendly, and absolutely GORGEOUS! He's a Carolina corn, about 10 inches long, and even if he is a she, will still be called Eric  Not going to get him probed, I'm not going to breed with/from him, so no sense putting him through that when I don't need to.
My son can't stop looking in the tank, one 18 year old daughter won't go near it, and the other 18 year old girl has been sitting next to the tank trying to see him - not that she's interested you understand 
Wish I'd got a snake ages ago!
I will post a pic at some point, but I've only managed to get one of his tail, and he's fast asleep in his hide at the mo |

| Well done. Remember to give him 7 days hands off, just spot clean and change water every day or two; and then we need loads of pics. Good luck and remember if you have any questions make sure you ask them. We are all here to help each other |

| Not sad at all! I was up every night at 4am for the first 2 weeks after getting Voldemort, it was the only time he came out and I was desperate to see him...even if it was by torch light |

| Hissy, did you have him in a small tank or a tiny rub? Eric is in a 16"x14"x14" tank at the mo and seems to be happy - he's drinking, has been out exploring most of the afternoon and some of the evening, it seems a shame to put him back in the little rub - he's about 14" long |

Me too its a big regret of mine now that i didnt take the plunge years ago so many people claimed theyd be alienated if i kept snakes in the flat however most have now been converted and those that havent ..well its theire loss and its about time i stopped caring what others think so much lol |

Voldemort's just recently moved into a 2 ft viv (actually 3ft but with a divider), and was in a 12x12x12cm exo terra until 26" long.If Eric is in a viv with sliding doors, just be careful he doesn't squeeze through the gap where the glass overlaps If he has plenty of hides he should be fine, depends on the nature of the snake. My little one is in a tiny breeder box, and only just getting confident after 3 weeks. |
