It is a he and he is a sweetheart. He has never bit. He doesn’t strike at the cage or anything. He is a rescue and kids have played with him some And he is kind of shy at first, but he’ll get used to you as an animal wood or wild animal and I handle him Pretty often and he will eat rats, but he kind of prefers a large Mice He does have a scar on his stomach that will affect his shedding but all you have to do is take it off of him. It’s really easy and nothing else wrong. I just don’t got time for him cause I’m moving and my parents are scared of snakes please text me if you’re interested and I will only take cash on meeting up
