Last Saturday i purchased a female Cali king at the Hamburg reptile show, to breed with my 2 year old male next year. At the time, i was unable to handle the girl, since i held other snakes earlier in the day, i didn't want to be bit. When i brought her home, i let her rest for a couple days, and decided to take her out. She IMMEDIATELY went to attack me, latched onto my hand and constricted. i actually had to leave the glove with her, since she wouldn't let go of it. I fed her a couple weanling rats to satisfy her hunger, but she still was biting at the terrarium at me. Im at a loss as to what to do. I honestly doubt by her behavior Ill be able to handle her ever, and id be VERY concerned about putting her in with my male for breeding if she acts this way. Does anyone have suggestions on how to calm her down a bit, if possible?
