Hi everyone,
I've recently been given a 3 year old coastal carpet python (I had him as a snakeling until he was about a year old then was away for a few years). We moved him a few days ago, enclosure and all, and I'd like to start handling him. But he's been hiding for most of that time and everytime I've opened up the enclosure to handle him he recoils and tries to either go back into his hide box or entangle around the branch. I don't want to stress him out too much - do you think the move is contributing to the shyness?
