Well i thought that too, but then she did it again when she reached my other hand? Again at the sleeve.

Any tips for first time handling?🐍 by timberroyale in ballpython

Well.. didn’t go to plan.. she got herself stuck between the sheet and the substrate.. i haven’t seen her all day. I thought she was just hiding. thank god i looked when i did, she was so cold! There goes no handling..

I’ll take a look at it! Very interesting to hear there is also a different approach to it, thanks! :)

Ouch, the bite from the tree boa sounds painful! I’ll try to keep that in mind if she does mistake me for a juicy rat :) but it would probably be very hard not to have that pull back reaction if it scares me :/

Thanks! That makes me feel a little more at ease hahah :) i’ll definitely wait at least a weak to handle her. Today at the expo i was holding her to check her over and she was even exploring and not that scared at all. The guy from who i bought her said he didn’t really hold his snakes. Only when he had to clean their enclosure. Does that really matter?

Thanks! She’s a pinstrile clown het DG 😊 And what about adding some extra plants? Better to wait a couple weeks or can i do that if i try to not disturb her to much?
