So I have this snake and she is just a nutter...
I have this little female I hatched out about a month or more ago... I know I could look it up, but that would mean getting out of my chair and I like this chair.
She is just a nutter. I can walk by the rack and I hear this *thump* *thump* *thump*... very rythmic and almost calming till I realize it is her thumping the front of the enclosure.
As I feed the hatchlings she will do it. Same with hitting her pup or hopper, she'll hit it repeatedly without taking it. Yet, she does feed so that isn't a concern.
But oh man. I feel just sick about it. I love my rats and hearing a rat pup screaming... not just mewing... really is a horrid thing.
As I open the tub she tries to tag me, when I clean her enclosure... when I change her water.... you get the idea.
I am really not sure of what to do with her. I am not a noob, I have good husbandry, my rack is in a quiet place, I drape it at night and during feedings. I do not handle her. She has as much acclimation and downtime as the others, which really is all the time.
I am keeping her as I am holding back all my females from this season.
I thought she might chill a bit, but this snake started snapping 12 hours out of the egg and hasn't stopped since.
Any advice or anecdotes?
As is, I have a piece of chloroplast I put in front of her in order to change the dish, etc. And I drape her with a papertowel and then slide her to move her when I change the enclosure.
