Alright guys and gals ive had this retic for almost 3 years. up until this march she has been the most docile, tame snake ive owned. like open up the cage and be able to reach in pull her out, adjust the cage, change water, clean, anything she was curious and as far as snake behavior goes "friendly".
then in march i made a stupid mistake while feeding and she got a good bite on my hand and wrapped up my arm. overall not a bad bite, was able to get her off and back in her cage, fed her and cleaned myself up and learned my lesson.
the problem is that since that incident she has pulled a 180
and is now a demon to deal with. any time i take her out it ends with her attempting to wrap up my hand and trying to bite me. I always try to hook train her and get that feed response turned off, however she will consistently through coils at me when trying to move stuff in the cage or trying to get an angle on my hands.
Temps havent changed, feed schedule same. im really at a loss as to what happen to my animal.
how do you guys handle this type of snake?
is there something i need to do?
