He's lovely - very velvety, soft appearance. Good luck with your new baby!

He came from www.acreptiles. I happened to be crusing through kingsnake one day and noticed that Anthony had put 2004 holdback's up for sale.

I haven't tried to handle him very much yet though.

Grabbing a picture is usually right after I've lifted the newspaper and it put it to the side. (Both IJCP's have a bunch of crumpled up newspaper to hide in)

Neither one of them is very happy about that. Ko Kame is more likely to take off, but she'll sit in the container long enough for a quick snapshot before she starts to sliter off. Kushiel, (I'm not sure if that is will be his permanent name), will immediately show that he is not pleased, and crank up into strike mode instead.

The last time I uncovered him like that was to move him into a temp container so I could clean his cage...he was so angry that I left him alone for the rest of the night and planned to clean his cage the next day. I'd also just been bitten by one of my 3/4" tarantula slings which zipped out of the vial it was in and won't go back in it's vial. I didn't feel up to dealing with an angry snake with a numb left hand from the T bite. I did get the T safely back into a slightly larger vial, but that took me quite a while...thankfully it wasn't one of my super speeders and it was NW.


Kushiel hasn't tagged me yet, but he's the most likely canidate out of all of the snakes I own. He may also be starting to head into shed, which could have been one of the reasons why he was so angry. He was fine the next morning when I moved him around.

We'll see, he's only been home for about 2 weeks now, and I'd imagine he's still getting used to the place and me.

Mine is just about the nicest snake I own.....it is an absolute friendly little snake. It isn't even head shy and I can just open the tub, reach in and pet it on the head without it even jumping. I have never had any problems with it, only had it about 3 months though. I love the bugger, and it looks just like yours with the velvety look, I just can't get a good pic.

Here is a pic I got today in it's temporary home:
