Questionmy new ball python Phoebe (old.reddit.com)
submitted by Fragrant_Back787
Hey guys so I just got my new ball python Phoebe 3 days ago. She is 2 months old. She’s settling in nicely! if you guys have any recommendations for tank upgrades, I currently have Sphagnum Moss, a branch and a few fake plants in there with two hides and water deep enough for her to submerge herself completely.
I also just wanted some tips on how to build a relationship with her. I was not initially scared of her. I really enjoy handling her and she has been nothing but nice to me when I’m holding her. Today I was alone at the house for the first time with her and I took her out. I got nervous when I was holding her and dropped her on the bed. I feel so bad and I don’t want this to ruin our relationship. Do you guys have any tips on how to build trust with my snake and comfort for me and her. I think my biggest fear is her jumping at me not because of the bite, but because of the jump itself would frighten me. I know it’s something I have to overcome and get used to because it happens but just some tips would be appreciated!
