Freshly shed carpet

Nagini just had her first shed with me. If you can't tell, she doesn't like me very much. :P

This one is grumpy, my other girl is an angel. I can even get her out without a hook. :)

I'm ashamed to admit it, but she scares me. She finally managed to tag me today and she didn't even draw blood, but for some reason she scares me. I went through the same thing with a few of my ball pythons and even one of my cresties. I really hope she does calm down with time and handling. :)

its ok to be scared. even when they are small enough that they cant hurt with a bite a natural reation is to pull back when they strike. i suggest some thin leather gloves(they give you the confidence to not jerk away, which in turn makes the snake less jumpy) to handle at first. after she is out of the cage and in your hands for a minute and calms down, remove the gloves. it wont be long at all till she is used to your touch and calms down. generally they ae a bit cage aggressive but ok once out. using a hook to get her out will help too. mine is as swwet a snake as you would ever want, she still defends her home a bit though. once the hook comes in she is over it and handles like a champ.

I have been bit and chewed on by almost all my snakes but I still jump :o

My little Coastal is in shed right now and very pissed. It's feeding night and he just showed me how far his reach really is. He hasn't been that mad in a long time :p

She looks great! :D
