Hello all,
I've got a corn snake, but I'm looking at getting a medium sized boid for my second snake. Not anytime soon, but I'm an obsessive personality and I like to do my research first.
I'm a bit naive about handling practices so...
I'm wondering how you handle snakes that are a bit on the agressive side. For example, I have read that Macklott's pythons (which I find absolutely beautiful) are nippy as juveniles, and can often be agressive even as sub-adults, but will tame down as adults with regular handling. I would expect as juvies getting bit is not going to be a real problem. Handle them, and take bites...it wont hurt much anyway. When they start getting bigger if they're still bitey, what do you do? Take your lumps? Use a hook? Are there freehandling techniques to avoid bites?
Thanks
