Re: Baby BRB update!!

I'd drop the nip step. Usually, a snake will tell you she is uncomfortable by trying to escape or get wriggly (flighty in her case); if so, don't make her nip but put her down. You want her to trust you, not think she has to bite every time she's handled. The time will increase with positive (non-biting) experience -- just be slow and patient with her. If she does bite, however, you are correct to hold onto her for a bit longer.

You know someone else asked if i remembered who i got my Sunglow from as well and i don't remember that one either. Maybe I should have asked for a card or something. Regardless im happy with the final 2 snakes of my collection.

Re: Baby BRB update!!

while i only have my juvi male right now , i had never handled an adult BRB till yesterday . I was able to handle a female 2005 , and she was about 6.5 feet and so docile and a pleasure to handle . they really do stay thin bodied and slow moving and pretty strong .

Re: Baby BRB update!!

Very nice! Have you named him/her yet?

And it's always a good idea to try and grab a card, just in case of future questions.

My wife named mine Ursula... she named my last BRB Kerrella.. ( she names them "evil" disney movie names because we got in a small fight for each of them ) and she thinks they are mean looking?)

Re: Baby BRB update!!

mean looking... b....b...but they're all so adorable D: I love the look of boas / pythons. The shape of their noses / heads is adorable!

Although Corn snakes beat out in the humor factor. I watched my brother's cornsnake eat a f/t large mouse the other week.... She looked like she had a wide grin on her face the entire time and i couldn't stop laughing.
