While i took him out to clean his tub, he did not try to bite me once.. Could the monster inside have given up?! Decided to take some pictures of him, just mobile phone pictures nothing special. But it's hard to take a bad picture of this handsome little devil.

First time i'm ever holding him without him trying to grab my face/hands or anything he can get hold off, hence the gloves. He did act a bit defensive at first, but nowhere near as bad as before.

Snap shot of Rukia in pre-shed next door, making obvious she's got no plans to calm down at all. She still leaps at the glass when i walk by her tub..

Yay! That's cool that you got to hold him without getting bit at :D They both look amazing, but I really like Rukia, something about lighter colored boas just gets me. :)

Great looking boa. I picked up an awesome looking Nic hypo last week at NARBC Tinley, as well as a Hog.

Three years old, how long have you owned the beautiful little holy terrors? Maybe he's just getting tired of the taste of the gloves? We went to a big reptile show today, and I tried to steer Becka toward a BCI or Dumeril's, but she fell in love with a 66% het albino jungle BCC.

I have owned him since 02-13-14, so about 8 months now :D And he just does not like me all too much, he is a bit calmer outside the breeding season. (Still snaps, but nothing like the female)

Do you handle them daily (gradually wear down their defensive responses) or just don't worry about keeping snakes with nasty dispositions? Even if it's just a wee baby, any snake that strikes at me makes me pull my hand back reflexively. Mind over matter just doesn't have time to work there, lol.

I don't handle them more than necessary, besides for an occasional photo-shoot. This particular animal seems to be calming down, like a lot of them do with age. It has gone from striking whenever he saw me, to now an occasional strike/hiss. It doesn't matter much to me, my T+ is very Defensive (Even comes after you, its pretty funny) And i have worked with several Defensive snakes in the past, in all shapes and sizes. Only caring for laid-back snakes is nice, but i think defensive snakes are very exciting to care for and you learn a lot from it. T.b.h i think it is a part of the hobby, one that is very exciting to experience.
