im not lieing she is nuts!!! she has destroyed more then 5 hides this week. i took her out yesterday and she bit me i kept her out and she calmed down. i took her out to day and she bit me agein this time she had my whole pinkie in her mouth and her bottom jaw got stuck and was pulling. she then put her head on my left hand and bit me agein. after that she calmed down. we took a walk around and played in the door way for about 5-10 minutes before i put her back. i think she is just hungry tomarrow is feeding day so i hope she gets happy. i just dont no what has gotton in to her lately. and its only the first minute or two i take her out. i think she is just makeing shore who i am. i hope she can find a better way to no who i am.

Think when she is 18ft cody. And I know you got some other snakes to worry about...hows that retic doin? I would work a lot with that one (wear gloves..they are less likely to bite them). Anacondas will even make a very difficult display animal if they want to bite you all the time.

the retic has finally gotton active agein. she is out at night looking around. i am useing a couple sprays and they r working great. the one i use on her kills mites inastantly. i have bin useinf gloves on annie and after she pooped on my last pair i bin free handling. the bites dont hurt there not even suppriseing any more couse i know how she acts when she will bite. i would rather get bit by her now then when she is 18 ft long. i also am going to use her in shows i do at schools and her biteing me can be a plus. should have seen it when a snapper almost got my nose they were kind of disapointed it was still there.

. That's unfortunate behavior.
` Does she act any differently when she's not hungry?
` Does she bite trying to get away, or stay in one place?

when she is not hungry she seems more relaxed and sleepy. when she bites she dose not try and get away its just like when she eats she rubs her head then bites and after she relizes its me and not food she is good.
