Hey everyone, it has been a while since I have posted, I haven't had much to talk about. One thing that I was hoping to get some advice on was some help with taming. I have a 9 month old female yellow that has been fleeing if she not constantly handled, meaning that I will get her out (I handle her daily) and she will be fine as long as I have her wrapped around my hand or arm or have at least one hand on her. But the problem comes up when she starts to get curious of the surroundings and starts stretching out. Once she most of her weight on anything but me, as soon as I touch her she freaks out an ends up behind the rack. It hasn't been a huge problem because I try to keep her on me...but I am just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and have any advice that would help with this. I am just concerned as she is growing very fast and I expect her to be a big girl within the next couple years and don't particularly want a large anaconda fleeing in my house. Thanks for the help.

Keep your snake away from other objects when you handle it. Learn to `steer` your snake back to you. What do you expect to happen when she is too large to handle yourself?.....You will need someone else`s help anyways.
