Eve - Cape african house snake

P.S. I love the pic in the hood or sleeve. Clyde always tries to climb up my sleeve. I can remember a month ago holding him and his racing up my sleeve as we waited in the exam room for the vet. I got him back out without taking off my shirt but I was afraid there for a moment. AWKWARD!

Hood... She also really likes to crawl through my hair, which always kind of freaks me out, because it tickles so much and I am way too ticklish for that.

That does sound awkward! My dog vet, no problem, I'd just whip off my shirt! LOL. My reptile vet... nope. Wouldn't happen. Hahahah

Thanks. I thought that picture was too cute not to share. :p

Thank you! They're so fun when they're a little bit bigger. When she was little I was always scared to lose her because she was so darn fast, and so darn tiny!

How long did it take for Eve to stop being so jumpy? I've never had to tame a snake before, so I'm not sure what to expect haha. Other than he's jumpy and fast.

I'd say after a couple of weeks she started to slow down, and after about a month or so, I started to feel more confident with her. It really didn't take long but those first few weeks were a little stressful. I handled her over a catch box until I was sure I wouldn't lose her so that helped me stay more relaxed in the beginning.
