Here he is! Albino Darwin (Image Heavy)

[ReptiBeck]

Received my little guy last night, opened container and bag in car to check he was okay and he looked so healthy and gorgeous.
Unpacked him later with family watching, he was docile as anything, a little flighty from stress, and he is really nice looking and healthy.
If anything, he may be a little underweight, can't tell in these photos though...

Here's some pics of when i first got him out and then put him in enclosure:


This morning when i opened the little guys cave:


And his first handling session this morning:


This morning he had even gone to the toilet which looked like a healthy one, too

Not sure about the name Ezio (Et-see-o) anymore...don't know if it suits...

Anyway, feeding him tomorrow, will post pics and/or video of that.

But HERE HE IS!!

Thanks :3

Well done Becky. Beautiful set up you have too, by the look of it.

I still think Ezio is a cool name...

Good looking fella right there. Just thought I'd point out a lot of people recommend to let it settle into its enclosure for a week or so before handling. Helps them to settle in and feel a bit safer after the stress of a big move.

i find it really does depend on the individual also , if they are relaxed and arnt obviously stressing i dont think it matters all that much , ive had new snakes ive handled from the get go with absolutely no problems and some that have been alot more timid and ive had to leave them alone for a while

i think its more of a blanket rule in a way more for new keepers who may not read the snakes signs as easily as others

Thanks he doesn't seem to be timid at all, really curious and settled
Ive had a snappy, flighty bredli hatchling before so sort-of know the signs

Agreed and i will, i think he is going to have the white head when adult...can see pure white coming through under the pinky yellow on his head
Thankyou ^.^

He's not underweight.

Okay thanks due for a feed anyway...just had a lot of loose skin when in certain positions, cant see it anymore, do they suck in their bellies when stressed?

 

[Porkbones]

Nice set up and a good looking snake. I have been seriously thinking about getting one of these

What do you mean by suck their bellies in?

 

[ReptiBeck]

like pull it in so it shrinks and the skin would go all loose, lungs really but...like a human would do...nevermind haha

Gorgeous Beck. Looks healthy in the pictures. Wrinkly skin could be a sign he is a bit dehydrated. As long as he has a water bowl I wouldn't be concerned. Does he do the sucking in as you touch him? If so that is fairly normal for them to pull their muscles away from your touch.

Ezio is still a good name and is probay the best character. Desmond was sort of annoying and Altair while pretty cool was too serious. I still like the idea of Ezio and Sofia for a pair. I might have to use those names sometime. Enjoy your little one. I'm sure it won't take home lo.g to settle in.

Yeah i didnt think of that, thanks! And if he gets a gf it will be Pandora :3 wanted to name him that but too girly hehe so can't resist.
I can't remember about the sucking in thing, he has stopped now...got one bite before haha
Isn't eating yet, keeping the rat in with him in feeding container overnight as suggested by his breeder.
