Get it from Jolly's up in Crews Hill? Where I got mine from a few years ago. Was similiar colour to yours maybe bit lighter...

They bite but are harmless, just handle him reguarly they relax over time. Used to let Mac stretch out on the couch or just curl round my hand when I watched TV etc. they love the warmth.

As above with feeding, mine went to grab a mouse once and it slid off the little tray I used. Snake thought it was alive then went insane lol, wrapped round and devoured it, would follow my hand outside the glass stalking for a couple days couldn't get near him. He was a few feet long when he went, much more hands on pet than I thought he would be, would have another.
