Thanks
Once he sheds I will get some new pictures. Once they start turning dark it goes pretty quick. He's over a year old and isn't far from being totally black. He still has red on his belly and a little bit of a yellow head stripe.
He's not that bad to deal with, just different from my other snakes. Getting him out of his tank then spending a few minutes calming him down are the hardest part. At least he's not a poop slinger anymore, though he did musk me about 6 months ago.
Once he's out and settled, he's must better to deal with. He seems to suddenly remember that no one is going to eat him and he calms down. Then he's actually quite enjoyable. Sometimes I just don't feel like getting him out because I don't want to deal with his tantrums.
