The picture in the classified section here that I couldn't stop looking at (photo courtesy Elemental Exotics):



I really thought about the commitment, but once I named him, I was a goner. There was no use waiting further on the decision!

From Clyde's last pre-shipping photo shoot. You can really see his beautiful little snake eyes and the iridescence that AHS are known for (photo courtesy Elemental Exotics):



There's something precious in this box:



Unboxing!



Who is peeking out of that deli cup?



Active healthy baby!



One more snapshot for good measure before his departing for the warm hide.



Welcome home little Clyde!

It has been a real joy working with Elemental Exotics. Thanks for such a healthy and beautiful little snake!

Thanks. My son has had a male named Norm for 13 years, so when I got back into snakes, it was between corns and AHS. I hope you find your own special AHS soon!

It's evening here and I just went to check on Clyde. I never expected to see him out, about, and climbing in his fake bush. I think of new babies hiding out for a few days unless it is pitch black.

I tried to make his viv like Disneyland for house snakes. Evidently he feels secure enough to explore a little. I couldn't be happier! It's too dark for a pic of this snakey activity, but here's a pic of the viv during set up while I was testing the UTH. He was in the leaves of the bush in the center.

Clyde had his first shed with me last night. I didn't know he was in shed. Now, I know he why he looked dusky. I had thought it was my lighting since I've only had him for 6 days but he was in shed. Hiding during acclimation of a baby is normal so I had no clue from behavior.

It was incomplete and I've now corrected my husbandry by providing a humid hide 24/7.



Still, it was a real bonding experience helping him shed the tail, which was stuck. After it was shed he just curled around my fingers. He has totally taken my heart. He's the sweetest little guy especially since my first handling experience with him was having him sit in damp paper towels and then running his tail through the same.

I'm always excited by the first shed with me and am so proud of my little trooper!

Congrats! That's awesome - very cool first handling experience.

Love seeing the pics of him and his shed
