Oh wow, what a huge change! He is totally gorgeous x
Why would you not go near him at night? Are GTP's aggressive? I thought they were supposed to be docile if captive bred? |

Well during the day he does absolutely nothing at all, he just sits there curled round his perch and does sweet FA! But then once the lights go out and it's dark outside, that's when he comes to life, he's not aggressive in the slightest, but night time is when he automatically assumes it's time to eat, so when we lift the lid off his tub he's right there in your face looking for food haha, if he bit us it would purely be a feeding response, there's no aggression in him whatsoever, he's like a kitten! 
My OH held him a couple of weeks ago, not intentionally mind, Enzo just decided he wanted to come out for an adventure and slid onto Matt's hand. They're fine to hold as long as you don't wrench them off their perch and potentially damage their spine, but we don't intend on handling him at all, not until he's a lot bigger anyway, and even then it would be once in a blue moon just to show him off |

| Oh right, I just wondered why oakleyman seemed so wary lol!! I did read that they are supposedly the most docile of the pythons (when captive bred here and not imported ones). They do look absolutely stunning but I think it would drive me mad that they are not keen on handling, I wouldn't be able to resist!! |

That's because he's a big girl  he's coming over soon to see them all so I'll show him just how docile he really is! Yeah I've heard that Arus are the best GTPs for handling and things, Biaks are quite aggressive supposedly, they're so beautiful though. The sire of Enzo's clutch is as handleable as a corn, he was awesome! The most stunning GTP I've ever seen, gorgeous greens and blues all over |
