Re: Are jungle carpet pythons tame pets?
They are typically never "agressive" but rather "defensive" as youngsters.
To some everything is a potential threat to them & thus their defensive nature.
Very few are actually "agressive", just like ANY type animal there tends to be an ahole in every crowd so to speak.
Most calm down quickly once they realize the whole world is not out to get them & your disposition quite often determines theirs. if you are all nervous etc. it tends to make them that way as well. Slow methodical movements to not startle them & gentle handling over time works well. In some cases you have to take a few tags for thsi to happen over time, but thats part of keeping them.
You get a kitten you'll get scratched, you get a puppy or baby snake you will likley get the odd nip, Mark
