My First Snake BRB

[Misk]

Hey guys, it has been a while since my last post and i just want to make an update post. So far so good, my BRB has eaten 3 meals and I just switched it to a rat pinkie for the last feeding. The humidity stays a constant 85 and more in the 2 humid hides. Also my BRB just had its first shed about 2 nights ago! The skin was looking kind of shiny and fake that day and when I woke up in the morning there were 2 peices of shed one next to the water bowl and the other in the fake leafs.

I am now seeing why brbs have a reputation for being nippy at young ages, I have been struck at 3 times twice while trying to pick it up and once when it was in my hands and I made to quick of a movement. but I do not think any of the times it meant to latch on they were just quick nips to scare me off.

Oh also here are a few pictures, they are not the best quality and don't do much justice, but they will do.

He is very pretty, and lighter than alot of the ones I've seen. I don't know much about BRBs for the people who see the post, thats my disclaimer. But does he not look almost like a hypo in that first pic?

And as you can see everything else in the first pic is terrible discolored. Hypos have no black.

Nice looking brb he'll get darker as he grows, I remember when I brought mine home they were very light, now they are more dark and rich.

Yes, baby rainbows can be bitey little things. The snake will outgrow it quickly though, so long as you continue to handle regularly and without fear. Great-looking animal, by the way!!!
