So, ive been trying to tame her

joann42 Oct 13, 2011 08:55 AM

And she fights me all the way.I have to drag her out of the cage, fighting as she wraps her whole body around stuff.
And then she will calm a bit and then the biting, right through a thick sweat jacket too(ouch)..I wonder if I put her in a small tank with nothing to wrap around and only a hide.Would this be mean? I would be able to work with her more if I could actually get to her once in awhile.She is currently in a 4x2x2 that is highly decorated, branches, plants, hides.

One guy I saw put them in a bag and hung them around their neck while going about their business a few times a week.She is over 4ft now.I have to tame her soon, Im giving it till Spring and if she is still biting Im going to give her away as a breeder.

You had to know they don't all tame down to the perfect pet. Some snakes are just defensive.

Do you have any lineage history on him? I will take him off your hands if you would like.
