NOW YOUR ALL Your Wheels are turning together !!
(I knew it was in there)
Now learn to read your boa,what does that animal do over a two week period ?(Assumeing your going to stay on a 2wk feeding plan?)After two feedings at this rate,how early can you detect a pending shed ?Do you feed in the same cage or a seperate container ?When handleing your animal do you approach the animal slowly from above with an open hand or go straight in for the snatch ?Do you use a hook to remove the animal from either its liveing quarters or feeding tub ?

Truthfully snakes are some of the dumbest animals on earth.
They "cant" be trained but they "can" be conditioned.Understanding the clear difference between these two misunderstood words makes ALL the difference in the world in this context.
Sad to think we as humans have to be tolerated by our pet animal.

I think pathetic is more fitting LOL!!

>>and also some of it definately is caused by my own error...

>>i guess, to be totally honest, i like to believe snakes are more intelligent than what they truly are....they do indeed, as others have said, have primitive brains...

>>i will try my best to improve my handling and care techniques, as well as patients and such...

>>i am no expert, that i will admit...but my intentions are good.

>>do you think the feeding is the definate reason for her behaviour? or do you think there could be anything else that i need to change?
