Posted by: Raven01 at Mon Mar 8 09:16:33 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Raven01 ] I agree with greensnake that certain smells can elicit a flight response with snakes. Making sure you have no strong chemical scents or prey/predator scents on you is important for both your safety and the safety of your pet. I prefer to use a snake hook to remove my snakes from their enclosures. As you noticed, snakes can be more skittish or aggressive in their cages, but calm once in hand. Consistent gentle handling is needed to acclimate snakes to handling, especially important with a snake that will eventually be a giant (you don't want him/her to still have an agressive response at 10 feet). Also, snakes are more prone to be aggressive around their sheds and the new skin can be damaged if handled while they are in shed. If you believe the snake to be in shed, it's best to leave them be until they've completed the shed cycle. | ||
