Thanks for that Hannah. :)

Well, the tank stripped bare (yes that is snake poo ON THE VIV)

Got a sneaky hold..


didnt wanna let go lol! and being too big for the plantpot..


Anyone think he may be a bit overweight?

Couldn't leave Blazikins out.


Clean viv, still smells a bit but that will go with cleaning, drowned it in disinfectant, and boiling water and dried it off. Least theres no harmfull germies in there. Some retained shed on his tail, get that off soon enough.. Still a bit of work to be done but at least he is cleaner.

edit:/ did wrong piccies. AGAIN

Bag/box him? If hes in a box hide, just put the box hes in in a box/bag.

I can't even look at him without him striking. I can't move the hide, it doesn't have a floor, if you get me, its a lift off hide like the exo caves, best way to describe it.

The plantpot is too small for him, so I'm going to replace that, then put something in the way of the gap so he can't get out, i have a cereal box ready to go in there, so i'll just turn it around so the gap faces the viv wall, if you get me

Got any perspex or a clear rub lid that is big enough to cover your hands but small enough to fit in the viv? Using a sheet of perspex as a sheild is a tenchique used by keepers of aggressive snakes when changing water ect.

My first thought - riot sheild and tear gas!!

No I don't. I might just man up and wear a thick hoodie and my biking gloves.

Haha, hence the need for a hazmat suit and lead lined gloves.

He was as sleep in the kitchen roll, at the cold end, so cleaned it. Ruined my perfectly made cardboard hide, now got a cereal box. He was watching me doing my homework quite happily, no striking or S'ing he's a bit nervous of my quick movements though. So was Blaze, now Blaze is out in the daytime. hehe.

Haha yeah Matty, the gloves are lost at my mothers somewhere..

Feedings gonne be fun. I had to get him out sooner before later, he has some retained shed stuck, not sure how long its been there, tail tip. worst bit!!

Well, all my snakes have suceeded in hissing at me, i feel, somewhat proud?
