    Hissing is not a problem, its part of being a snake...

    Eventually he will get the idea that you aren't out to hurt him and he will stop. just ignore it.

    Most of my babies "huff" at me now and then. That is my name for it since they do it with a closed mouth.

    Generally speaking, they only do it if I startle them, so I always move slowly when I pick them up, and gently stroke their back or side to let them know it's me.

    The only one who never huffs, is the only one to bite me, so go figure.

    One time my BP took a deep breath and exhaled. angllady2 called it when she said it was a "huff". But other than that, my pythons are pretty chilled out.

    Mines did that too but I think he just got mad because I was moving things around in his cage and cleaning it up but I have got bit before and it doesnt hurt, just scares you more than anything.

    My het lavendar abino male always hisses at me. I just pick him up and go "Seriously????? For Real????"

    He's all bluff, but for some, it's their way to tell you to "hiss off"

    lol.....it cracks me up when they hiss. I had never heard it until I got Samantha....she is a total spitfire!! She thought she would hiss at us when she had "captured" the table leg....:rofl: Such a lovely little lady...:rolleyes:



    As far as the bite....do not pull away...their teeth are pointed backward and not only can you pull their teeth out....you can also rip your skin. They typically just let go.

    mine hissed for about the first day while i was working out the kinks in the cage but now she doesn't but usually if you grab them to fast they will hiss so i always touch her tail before i grab her as to not startle her.
