Hi guys, new to this forum but not new to snakes..
I am getting an adult borneo blood python (that's what the
gentleman said it was) and just looking for some handling tips.
From what I have read, it's best to let them settle in for
weeks before really trying to handle a lot? The man says he
is handlable and tame, but we'll see!
I've read they do spray feces, is there anything to look out
for or watch for before this happens? Is it just the fact
that the bloods don't like to be held for long periods?
I know to really support the body and avoid holding and
restraining the head but if anyone has any other tips that
would be great!
Also, does the girth rule apply here? I can feed my largest
adult boas rabbits, will bloods eat those as well or do they
mainly stick to rats? Is one jumbo typically enough for
an adult or because of the girth do they require more than one?
Thanks, I'm a little nervous but very excited!
I'll post some pics once I've gotten him!
