#antaresia python

[hypermobilityherpyhour]

I have not been handling Barney much and he has turned into a hungry hippopotamus demanding food literally the day after he eats. He has also decided he’s big enough to try to eat my hand (which has admittedly further reduced his handling [that and general life/home environment changes]). Le sigh. He’s still a cute lil noodle though! I also feel bad handling him when I know he doesn’t enjoy it and he gets nervous around most new things.

I’m going to start tap/hook training but I’m also going to hold myself to a better enrichment schedule for him. He loves exploring a fresh redecoration so much.

Barney loves enrichment so much! All it takes is a little rearranging or rotating in decor and branches. Watching him climb around makes me genuinely feel so sad for how long he was in a small shop display box. But he’s got tons of space and clutter now!

Life is pretty hard when you’re just a noodle with a head

*these lights do not stay on all night they just let me see him being all nocturnal before I actually go to sleep*

Look at this handsome gentleman patiently waiting for my light to turn off so he can go on his nightly stroll

Barney!!! There’s not nearly enough love for Antaresia pythons, these guys are so underrated

I’m in a never ending battle with water spots and they might be winning
