That's it, I quit!!!!

I quit trying to stop my 03 Bloodred female from eating me.

As I open the cage, she takes a spurt..

Sniffs for 2 seconds.... and then latches on.

She means business when she wants to eat me.

So that's why I have been handling her with a glove. She sometimes even like to chew the glove The reason I wear the glove is that these chewing bites are not nice. They hurt more than the normal defensive bites of corns.

Anyways, months and months of repeating this excersize did not help so I just have to face it...LOL She will never be a normal handable snake. One thing I like is that she will be part of a project to get fresh bloodlines in Europe. At least this line will be good feeders I guess.. LOL
