I got my BP a few months ago and she has been eating alittle inconsistenly. She will eat one week, go off for two, eat again, go off for one. When I first got her she struck at me alot. Like when she would come out of her hide and I would walk by the tank, she struck out. Now she comes out and she stops moving but she doesn't try to strike. If I walk up to the cage she just freezes or goes back into the hide. She has eaten two weeks in a row now and I was wondering when I can start taking her out and how I would go about doing it, with gloves on? I really don't want to get bit. My last BP was nice and gentle and she seems anything but. So I am alittle stand-off-ish (sp?) She is in a hide that the top comes off, its like a little rock. How would I get her out of there, I know with one that just lifts up thats all I would have to do but how do I maneuver her out of there. Especially if shes trying to bite me. I was also wondering how many times I should handle her and for how long to tame her down alittle. I guess all the striking could have been from stress but it lasted for about a month. Help Please!
