Some snake questions!

[BCollie]

Having a snake is something I've dreamed about for a long time, and today it became a reality.
I ordered my snake Saturday, he shipped out yesterday, and today at 12:01 I watched a FedEx truck pull down my street. I let out an admittedly very girl "EEP!" scream, and ran down my driveway, barefoot, to meet the truck.
Here is my "BHB Reptiles Unboxing" video. I'm hoping I embedded this right.

And here's some pictures of him. He was scared and curled up into a little ball in my mom's hand. After that, he decided to go into offensive mode and has tried to bite me probably 5 times. I will consider that a good thing, it means he is feisty and LIVELY. I'm sure he'll calm down more once I can start handling him on a regular basis. He is now in his terrarium, he will be fed tonight(if he wants to eat) then left alone until his next feeding.















Now, he needs a name!

Really Nice, awesome pics! I agree with E-Z, BHB does produce some high quality animals. I bought my garter off of them and I just love her to death!

You have quite the handsome little guy. If you're looking for ways to fill the cage, your options are basically limitless. I like to add lots of branches, because to creates a lot of useable space for the snake. Personally, I don't bother doing anything to them. I just cut and place in the cage. If you prefer, or if the tree bleeds, you can let them dry.

A hide can be basically whatever you want. If you're using traditional substrate, like aspen, you can use also anything for a hide. Paper towel rolls and small boxes are really excellent hides, though. You can get fake plants from Walmart, the dollar store or almost any craft store.
