I've got a female yellow about 5 ft. She's never bitten or struck at me. She was a little skiddish during handling at first but calmed down a good bit. Just be patient. Your snake is gorgeous too, by the way.

Very nice snake, Hopefully he calms down for you, I managed to go years without being bitten this year I had my first 2, one from a pissed off ETB, which was nothing but a nice bruise because of the punctures, and one from my little albino burm, he got me good (my own fault I reached my hand in to get his water bowl right after handling the rats that were thawing out next to his cage, can you say dumb lol ) Any way I just completely relaxed my arm and let him constrict, any movement only made it worse after a few he let go and I have to say I much preferred that then the thought of forcing him off , left no scaring, just a few days to heal up all the tooth marks and minor cuts.

dfr, I Love the pick of you hand feeding that Yellow . I have a blood python that I know I could do that with but I haven’t dared try Just seems like I would be pushing my luck, But if I ever do I will have a pic of it to show off Maybe I’ll try it next week then at the very least I can show off a few pic’s of why It was a bad choice lol.

` Hand feeding was his idea, when he was a few weeks old. It wasn't a risk then, and he didn't stress from it. I wouldn't try initiating it with an older snake, especially a giant constrictor. If one bites, and won't let go, the trauma of being forcibly removed can permanently change their behavior.
` The big guy continues to be lazy about feeding, however. He acts unconcerned about feeding, then opens up when I bump his nose with food. He'll let me push it down his throat, then just swallow it. If I put food in with him, he usually ignores it for hours, and often doesn't take it, at all. I think he's just lazy.
