1st Hiss.... Happy New Year to me..Haha

Went and lifted Avalon's hide off her today and I heard this short little ...SSsssss... 1st time this has happened.. I reached in to get her and was giving another.. I didn't give up though.. She still got held on New Years Day...hahaha

My YB tries to act tough by hissing too. One of my other ones did too but she grew out of it pretty fast. How big is avalon? My lesser stopped hissing and shes a couple hundred grams now.

the exact same happened to me the other week

pulled off her hide and as soon as she felt my touch she hissed i wont lie i jumped back thinking she was going to strike at me lol!

but i think it was because she didn't see me reaching in for her..

My normal used to hiss up a storm at me but he doesn't anymore. My spider just hissed at me for the first time last night :rolleyes: I think it's adorable

Ya she should grow out of it pretty soon i would think. And if she doesnt its no big deal lol

Do you guys ever try and touch your BP's heads? We usually don't unless she rests her head on a finger, we might give it a little rub , but that's about it..

Depends on the snake. I have a few that aren't head shy at all, and a few that are really head shy. Typically I do try and get them used to being handled, and touched all over.

Come try that with my cinny, she'll probably try and "kiss" you ;)

Shes a freakin spaz and a half haha

With the holidays and all my daughter's activities, we probably haven't been holding her enough.. I'll make that one of my New Year's resolutions..
