Greetings Everyone, just joined today
Great forum.
In a challenging situation. Have a 7.5 ft female JCP, we've had her nearly 2 years.
She usually gets fed 1-2 thawed/warmed large rats every 3 weeks. She's a great feeder, takes about a couple of seconds before she strikes and grabs them.
She used to be the sweetest, most good natured and sociable snake.
About 1 month ago she bit me, she was hungry and we were waiting for a new shipment of rats so she hadn't eaten for about 5 weeks. I wasn't paying attention and she struck my thumb, not very painful just bit of blood. Since then noticed she is very antisocial and coils up in strike pose when I go to stroke her. I prefer not to use a snake hook.
Trying to make friends with her again, know you should handle them 20-30 minutes every day except after feeding where about 24-48 hours no handling is best.
Advice/suggestions most welcome.
