help costal on the rampage

[holloway]

Hi all my first time on this forum looks a good place to start by picking people brains, my problem is that i have a 3yr old costal carpet python and she has been my bigest pride and joy i have ever had, we have been through thick and thin together without any prob's until now, for the last past 5 week's she have taken a turn for the worst as i mean she have gone from my little princes to hell sainten as every time i go near the viv she strikes at the glass, people do tell me to take the bite but she not exactly small as i said she is 3yr's old and over 6ft in length and a head span as big as my fist:Wow:
so wright this minnite she is very intimmadatin, has any one els been biten by one as big as my little angel.

p.s cool site by the way:yes:

So the real question is...what has changed to make her go from "handlable" to "can't touch it with a 10 foot pole"?

Was bit by a 6 foot boa once, it bleeds a lot! I imagine though that a bite from a Carpet this size will be worse than a boa of the same size, carpets teeth being longer since they regularily eat birds and are adapted for such.

Good luck man! I would invest in long snake hook if I were you! 2 would be better!

thanks but I'm not sure what has changed she seems to be happy enough in her Viv i haven't changed the surroundings so I'm not sure what it could be but i want to get her out but don't want to be on the receiving end of her teeth but i think i might just go and get her out if she bites or not at the end of the day we been together for about 3 years or more

Well I'm not sure what to tell you.

But I know this.....GET a SNAKE HOOK! LOL It'll help a lot.

Yah...I reccommend the whole snake hook thing. Maybe it's just getting her out of the cage.

Brad, snakeguru, has some nice ones.
