Hey men are trainable. You just gotta work at it. A reward system is always a good idea. :neener:
Re: Propper care and handling of babies.
LOL rewad system. he he Depends on the reward. If its a possotive reward thats even better, but if its food then I could do without. LMAO
Well maybe I was using the word domestication wrongly, but what I considered domestic would be an animal that I can routinely handle the animal without threat of hostility. Both my BPs I can pick up kiss their nose grap their head open their mouth and examine them from stem to stern without thread of getting bit. The only time I have been bitten by my male snake was when I was feeding without tongs and he missed the mouse and nipped me, but as soon as he hit me he released and realized he missed. I had a Boa at one point in time that every time I picked up this 6 foot snake he would tag me. I ended up selling him back to the guy who sold him to me. He tagged me 3 time in a row up the arm one time. He would strike at me thoguh the cage just very aggressive. Again I was younger and he didnt have much time to aclimate to the new place, but I fed him a large rat,but the guy who had him before me wasn't feeding him enough and so the rat he ate from me was a small meal and he was still hungery. So basicly what I was wanting to know was the proper time to start handeling to get them used to being handled. Since I plan on keeping the first clutch, and I would like them to be docile like my adults are. I have gotten the answer I was looking for so thank you for everyone responces.
