Thor - albino Cape House Snake

[Magdalen]

Haha yeah he eats like a champ, even during shed. It's hard to tell when he's in blue so I offer food every week. I usually find an old skin and go "Oh he was in blue haha." I'm still getting to know his habit but I believe he hides even more when he's in blue.

Ziggy, I'm definitely expecting skittish haha. But if he can at least tolerate handling if/when he needs to go to the vet I'm not adding the extra stress of handling on top of going to the vet. But he's so cute :3

Honestly. Scooping him out used to it or not just for vet visit is going to make no difference fyi his stress levels whatsoever.

Of course it's your snake and I understand people want to handle them but getting them used to it just in case you need to deal with them in an emergency isn't necessary. If you want to handle it because you want to handle it absolutely fine - I was just throwing an alternate out there
