The moment I first saw my jcp I knew I had to have her. I'd never owned a snake previously and everyone I talked to warned me against getting a jcp as my first but I refused to listen.
She's 16 months old and I've had her for a few weeks now. They told me she was very snappy and aggressive so I took that as a challenge. They told me she always goes for your hand during feeding and she likes to get hissy when people are close by.
Since I've had her she's been very social, coming to the glass every night to see what I'm up to. She hasn't yet failed to grab her food and has only gotten into a defensive stance when I've accidentally startled her.
She still hasn't bitten me and although that makes me extremely happy (because I must be doing something right) it's going to sound weird but im slightly disappointed as well because I long ago accepted that getting bitten is part of living with them and I want to experience all aspects of having them.
Every day I hold her I can't help but laugh inside thinking today's the day she'll get cheeky and tag me.
I guess there's always tomorrow hahaha
Pleasantly surprised
