Hi all,
I have a question. I have a new baby and she is whippy! I have never met such an angry snake. She really dislikes being handled. I have heard from many people that babies tend to be nippy and not so responsive to handling. So, should I just continue to handle her and get bitten, or is it best to leave her be until she calms down a little? She's been with me for a good length of time, is eating VERY well, and is showing no other signs of stress (aside from trying to kill my hand whenever it enters her enclosure) I also feed her using tongs, so I don't think it's a matter of her associating me w food.
I want a snake that is handleable when an adult, but is my trying to handle her now just doing more harm by stressing her out?
