Boy, young Childreni sure do love to bite! Do these guys calm down with age? Or do you have to work with them?

We are all products of our childhood

I would remind everyone concerned to please respond with a constructive answer.

Think about it.

Some tend to be nippy for the first year. Others are mellow. As for the biters--my experience is that they wake up one day and decide to be well-behaved pythons. I've had several who fit into this category. Either way, I always handle them consistently from the time they are hatchlings. Just my opinion. . .

Thanks for your observations Althea

mine was agressive but in spurts I held him every few days and the nipping became less and less often and now it pretty much has stopped unless it's feedin time boy the best eater I got. handle every few days for about 15 minutes at a time and he should settle down fast.
if you think they're nippy try a baby gopher snake g-d tehy bite.
just my two cents
