So the first three pictures are of Dolce (the name he came with) about 30 minutes ago. and the last one is from yesterday afternoon when i put him back into his cage after feeding him.
He is probably about 3-3.5 ft long.
Still unsure of me.
The last time he was handled was a month or more ago. I think probably longer since the girl i got him from was not the owner and the owner just left him at her house. I figure the owner probably didnt handle him too much if she just up and left him without caring what was to become of her snake.
He has made one small whitish poop with a black spot in it. idk if this is an actual poop or is it is what someone else called a Urate? i think thats how you spell it.
Anyways.....he is really gorgeous and I am happy to be able to give him a good home.
I havent held him yet, only moved him (when he was inside the ceramic buddah), into a smaller container to clean his cage (which was filthy btw, there were 3 SHEDDINGS IN IT!!!), and to feed him (in a giant rubber tub). Which is was trying to strike me when he was in before and after eating his mouse. so when i put him into the cage i covered him with a blanket and just slid him in by turning the tub on its side. I am sure he wasn't very thrilled. but i didn't really feel like getting bit and then having to figure out how to capture him if he happened to have gotten away after biting me. LMFAO. That would have been comical to some. not so fun for me or the snake. although i am sure all of my other animals would have thought it was the most amusing thing they have seen. ha.
Anyways!!!! If you have any advice on cornsnake handling for snakes who are scared or untame, i am open to hear/read all things.
I am going to wait about a week or so, (probably 5 days) until i try to pick him up.
I changed his water about 20 minutes ago after he hid in his buddah (which amazes me how his entire body can fit inside that thing), he was not happy about that at all. all i could hear was the rattling of his little tail. lol
Thanks for being here!!!!
