What substrate is that? If it's cypress mulch, where do you get it in Vegas? Awesome looking animal!

He is doing ok, having the same problem you are it seems. (I posted in your thread). I got it from a local shop, I traded a trio of Irian Jaya carpet pythons for it.

Here is an updated pic of my Melinus, I don't see him much. He is really shy and flighty.

He looks awesome James! Hang in there, he'll come around eventually! Just be patient and use reverse psychology...eventually he will cave

Gettin' big!

 

[james.w]

Yeah, now if he would just stay out long enough to try and feed from tongs, we would be getting somewhere.

 

[Rhetoric]

Does he usually take off when he sees you hanging around?

 

[james.w]

Yeah as soon as he sees me he disappears.
