that sweet BP attitude

I just love BPs that are handleable and not overly shy or overly skittish or aggressive. My late female, Ginger, was just like this; she was the best snake to handle. I am very happy that my new girl is very similar; she is really laid-back. She was owned by a family with several children who would routinely handle her; she is no stranger to being handled. Just a happy post about a happy owner with a happy snake. :)

"Make with the snake pics lady", he said in his best B&W gangster film voice impression.

lol. I did post a pic in the pics section last week. She needs updated pics, but is in shed now. I want her to shed, already!

Oh man, tell me about it. My Athena can be an absolute diva when it comes to some things, she is completely laid back. She was never head-shy and I just recently found out she'll even let me boop the tip of her nose. She does nothing but lift up her head further and stare inquisitively at my finger. :P

Their so sweet and cute, I love them!

My bad and congrats on the new G-Stripe as well. Still kicking myself for passing up on a pair of female G-stripes and a Het Red Ax het for hypo.
2-3 breeding seasons after grow out that would have given up RA/HRA G-Stripe Hypo's with a little luck.

My BP used to be pretty skittish. Last night I attempted to touch her head, just for the hell of seeing what would happen. I read some threads yesterday about how to train your BP to stop being head-shy. :rolleyes: I kept petting her on her head and she seemed to enjoy it. I love that she is 100% chill now. I can pet her wherever, including her head, and she's just like "oh, okay...I suppose I can roll with this." :D I love it. <3

That is awesome. It's also cool to have a tame snake like that, to show others. People really open up to the idea of snakes as pets when they are confronted with one that is really laid-back!

That would've been a hot combo, Raven!
