Agreed.

Sometimes with dums, people recommend only feeding at night and not handling the snake for a day or two before feeding. I can't tell just by the pics, but the enclosure may be too large. Having too much room can stress some snakes out. It seems counterintuitive, but dums seem to like the security from a smaller enclosure.
