sudden squeeze

nfronk13 · 10-05-12, 01:16 PM

I have a Jungle Jaguar carpet python and it is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet long, anyway when i hold her sometimes she will just squeeze my hand really tight all of a sudden and then loosen up it seems like maybe my hand gets sweaty and she gets frustrated but i am not sure on why she does this and would like some feedback from others thanks.

Only thing I can really think of is if your carpet felt like she she was falling or slipping off she might grip to steady herself.

What sarrix said.

And does anybody ever notice when you're hands are a little bit moist and you're snake has trouble moving along your skin? I hate that!!

My SD retic will regularly clamp onto my arm when it is time to go back in his viv, but he only does it to me and not to my wife.

i have found carpets behave that way when they are nervous of a situation,be it falling off your hand ,or when they wrap their tails firmly around something in their tank,to avoid being taken out
