I guess my question here is, is this a common problem? Snakes turning on their owners... It can't be to common or it would be all over the news right?
I guess it only takes one time... My wife knows to unwind from the tail out!  |
You can unwind from the tail or hold from the neck and do the same.
Um I don't know how common it is because giant keepers keep it pretty hush hush when something bad happens. They hate being told "I told you so" and being wrong
I do know of a few cases where the nicest snake has done a number on someone when they thought food was coming.
About 15 years ago I knew a guy who kept a number of giants (No dwarfs at the time so serious real giants.) He hired a teen to help clean and such and he was really good. One day he wasn't paying as close attention as he should to a 17 foot extremely docile burmese and she thought food was coming. Got him good on the hand, wrapped him up pretty quick and thankfully people were on hand and saw it and reacted quickly. Left some nice bruises from the pictures we saw and he had quite the shock.
A small error could have ended horrendously. This is why I don't understand the casual nature people take with these animals.
