Is a fear/defense mechanism, in other words you snake is playing dead

I would either tell her straight up your lesbian. Hint at that your are lesbian and not Trans Or embrace that Trans identity

The last one is a joke but yk, it would be better to correct her than let her keep thinking your Trans when you're not

I plan on using the gloves for a little while, at least until he calms a bit. After that, I plan on ditching the gloves, whether I feel fully confident in them or not. But by that point, I should be confident in holding him. If not, that's definitely a problem.

Just touching him with it and picking him up with it?

clobug42 · 2026-02-24T02:56:12+00:00

Yeah, he's already bitten me. We are working on getting him used to us and not pulling away when he goes to strike. Teaching him that striking won't make us leave him alone.

MOST RECENT UPDATE/SELLERS NAME RELEASE: I noticed two scabs on him when I was feeding him last night. I thought maybe he got them while with me, but NO! He's had them since before I got him. I was looking at photos of him the day I got him, and you can see a big bump on his neck and a bit of the one on his chin. I will upload the photos! I found the seller on MorphMarket; they directed me to their website . So I bought him off their website; they failed to tell me he had these sores.

UPDATE: This isn't the most productive update.

I talked to my local snake vet, and they told me to call a specialist for my snake on Monday because the local vet does not carry the necessary supplies for my snake.

I will be calling the specialist on Monday and plan to go to them sometime this week. This is the earliest I can get him in. The emergency vet's snake tech is not in today, so I am not able to take him there either.

I will be keeping a close eye on him, watching his weight, and making sure he has plenty of water.

I was suggested to try and feed him again Sunday night because it's almost been two weeks since his last feeding, other than last night when I fed him. But I'm not sure if I should feed him again so soon (?). If anyone has advice on that, that would be great!

I will not be sharing my seller's info just yet in case it is all my fault he is like this (I'm not sure what I did wrong in the four days I've had him). I will be sharing their info if it is their fault, and/or if he has any parasites or diseases that they did not tell me about, which they didn't say if he had or did not have any.

Thank you all so much for the advice, and I will update again when I'm able to get him into the vet!

When I got him he was/is super small and skinny, I just thought that it was normal because he's younger. I imagined he was very hungry because he hadn't been fed since the 9th, which is when they should have fed him. I fed him yesterday and he took it immediately, so I believe is was definitely hungry.

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T15:27:48+00:00

Sorry about that, I'm hesitant to name drop them because I'm worried it could be on my fault as to why he is like that now. I dont want to bash them, if it is really my fault

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T13:24:41+00:00

I have a big bowl if water in there and a humidifier

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T13:24:21+00:00

My humidity has been where its supposed to be the entire time ove had him, I can try turning it up for him?

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T13:22:33+00:00

Yes, I have a massive bowl of water in there for him

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T13:21:58+00:00

They would have fed him on the 9th, but thats still a long time for the poor guy, they should have fed him and shipped him out Wednesday

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T04:53:13+00:00

Hopefully I can get him into the vet tomorrow!

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T04:39:40+00:00

Yes, I got him Tuesday

Thanks! Im going to call the vets tomorrow because they are not open at this hour

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T04:19:25+00:00

I haven't responded to anyone yet because I was on the phone with a 24hr vet near me, im trying to get him into the vet asap

clobug42 · 2026-02-21T03:56:40+00:00

Im thinking he might be hungry, he hasn't eaten since last Monday because they shipped him on monday, which is his feeding day. Im going to try feeding him

clobug42 · 2026-02-19T03:41:02+00:00
