There was a lot of conversation in this thread http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...lmost-2-months about how to handle snippy ball pythons. I finally managed to get my act together and shoot a small video.
It's not the best. I had framing issues as I was shooting myself. It was also unscripted and just my rambling thoughts on the matter, so take all that into consideration when you watch it. I think the info is good though, enjoy.
Never tried linking a video here so I hope this works.
Best,
Dave

Fantastic job! I could have used this when I first got Miqula - I eventually just put a gardening glove on and gave her my hand to strike at while I picked her up - I did figure out to pick her up from behind. She declined to strike at the glove, and mellowed out as soon as I got her to eat - but this would have been a fantastic video to have to learn better ways of dealing with her striking.
Great video Dave! I'm going to have my wife watch it when she gets home. We have a super pastel that can be quick to strike. She could use the extra confidence knowing that I'm not just throwing caution to the wind when she sees me handle her.
