I have owned my BTS for 10 months now . healthy and huge she is stil not handlable . I have tried and tried for months on getting her used to humans but with no luck .she looks like she is going to be nice but then Wamm she goes for the bite . I love her to death still and no matter how she comes out .. but could anyone please give me some advice on helping the taming process. I know the more u handle the better but its getting annoying when everytime your hand goes in your lucky its comin out

thanks again

BTW - LLREPTILE is awesome

thank you soo much for the advice . I'm going to go pickup a pair of gloves and start there . I love mine to death had it from a baby and just wanted to give it some time maybe to get it out of her system but ... she is now well over a foot long and the bite is as hard as my heart is for her . its time to at least calm her a little bit .

I am just mad cause she makes me feel awful like i did something wrong . sounds dumb but its the kind of person i am . she is around great people , my GF loves her my best budd is a reptile fanatic also , when she goes for a bite the others take there hands out but my buddy is determined to get her to calm down . while on vacation with my girlfriend i recived a call of laughter saying she had finally bit him off guard and he was laughin cause he said it was a love bite i laughed and said ur lucky u got your hand stil . he was determind that i would come back from Florida and she would be on his lap but it didn't happen and I just need'd to seek advice again . sorry for the blabber but thanks really for al the advice and for the link
