cas0914 Apr 17, 2005 09:07 PM

i ama new to the bp world and was hoping you could help with your knowledge. i recently accuired 16 normal females.most are esay to handle, but one is very agressive. ive had them about two weeks now and she hasnt eaten for me yet and every time i reach in she strikes at my hand. she is around the 500 gram range and sold to me as captive bred.i keep these in a breeder rack with proper temps and humidity. how do i go about handling this bp? thanks

I have a LTC snake (over a year!) who still strikes when I reach near her. Some just never totally acclimate to being pets, some do very well. Dont try to handle her or feed her for a couple weeks. Let her calm down, make sure she has a close fitting hide spot. Good luck!
