Am I disturbing my Ball Pythons too much??

heck yeah, good point david. also, the more you draw back the more it's gonna hurt (bleed).

Picking tiny teeth out of your hand/fingers is no fun either.....for you or the snake. Ripping out teeth like that could lead to gum infections, which can be MEGA hard to treat in small snakes especially.

i will admit this, being bitten by a bp isn't exactly a cake-walk as opposed to some of the smaller species of snakes i've owned, such as kings and corns.

btw, david... great av bro.

Wizill, we don't like each other but let me give you some advice. That t-shirt trick that emroul works great, you may also want to put him in a snake bag or pillowcase and put him in your lap while you kickback. I did this to tame a blood that I had and a 7 foot boa that had an attitude. I tried this with the wc bp's that I sold but they were too nippy, to tell you the truth those were the "meanest" snakes that I've ever came across. I don't like using the word "mean" when it comes to snakes, specially imports but I couldn't think of a better word. Anyways, that's my advice.

LOL...eyelashviper started this thread not wizill. Dang, I need some coffee to wake up.

Umm..yeah..I sort of like to mist my BPs with this humidifying vitamin spray for their skin.Maybe it is all baloney but I sort of get a good feeling out of it.I mean I would share my bed with my BPs if I thought it would help them in anyway ya know??? I think I need to let Apok acclimate for another few weeks before I really start working with him as far as taming..thanks for all the info everybody!!!

Wait.....a "humidifying vitamin spray"? I'm not attacking you or anything, but there is this humidfying spray out there that is FREE.....its called WATER, lol. Like I said before, Snakes get all of the vitamins and nutrients they need from the prey they consume. Supplementation is not necessary.

i never asked for advice on this matter, but thanks i guess.
