Got Ripley a new 42l RUB and he seems to be loving the extra space. I can usually hear him at night exploring and climbing on his fake ivy. He seems to think he's arboreal though... I went into my room last night, turned on the lights and he was cruising around the top of the RUB using the little crevices on each side! He did a full lap of all 4 sides before climbing down. Here are some piccies...

Haha congrats on the pun there! He's a real cutie, I'm looking forward to him relaxing a bit more when I handle him. At the moment he just sits on my hand all stiff and doesn't really move around... he moves his head about and flicks his tongue, but other than that he just sits still! I'm sure he'll get some trust in me soon and will feel happier to slither around more.

With any luck he will be! I'm definitely smitten with him as my first snake, that's for sure. Handled him last night and he seemed way more relaxed than usual. He's normally very stiff and remains in the exact same shape as he was when I first picked him up. But this time I stroked him down his length and he seemed to loosen up somewhat. He also looked around a lot more and was inquisitively flicking him tongue. Hehe I wubs him.
