These boys came to us on 4/2/21 from a snake food breeder who was given them as food stock, but they were too friendly.

UPDATE 4/20/21:

“These boys are still a “work in progress” They are getting better and better each day though! I really believe that because they had spent time in a home with snakes, that they KNEW, and are still a bit traumatized. None of them are aggressive, just real scared. They do all get along with each other. They all enjoy having someone talk softly to them.

Trig is probably the bravest of the bunch. He will come right to the door when I am there, and I can reach in and pet him and scoop him up if I am sneaky. He will cuddle into my neck and let me kiss his adorable blaze. But be VERY careful giving treats, he will lunge at it and take a finger too if the treat is tiny (use big pieces!)

Brownie is a little bit more difficult to scoop up, but once I have him, he isn’t terribly squirmy, he’s getting better. Brownie will touch my hand with his teeth, when I put my hand by his nose. He doesn’t seek my hand, and he doesn’t bite, just “tastes” me but I am still being cautious.

Curly is the most frightened. It takes a bit to pick him up and sometimes he will scream a little. He will also calm down in a few minutes if I hold him firmly against my chest. He needs a LOT of love and attention. Neither he nor Brownie will even take a treat from my fingers yet.

All 3 boys are big beautiful squishes and eat a LOT! We are working on litter box training, but so far, they have not done too well. We will keep at it!”
