Ah right.
Well how are your snakes to handle, mine often stays in the 's' position for a few minutes, then moves around (hardly), then 's' position, then move, then I put her back.

I posted a thread a couple weeks ago about my biggest girl striking and constricting on my hand... She really thought it was food... Took me 10 minutes to gently pry her off. Come to find out, if you spray them in the face with water they'll generally let go...
Re: She tried to eat me! =O
only on a feeding day...
see that defensive posture and stick your hand in there, and youre a lot like me. haha
after that i got an improvised hook...it didnt hurt, but i didnt like it... haha
Re: She tried to eat me! =O
Lol Travis I do the same thing. When im prepping the F/T for Thor, I use an old blow dryer to warm them up in a paper sack in order to make it a little more realistic for him, and make him quicker to respond due to the heat signature. Well, the problem with doing this is that the smell of the mouse drifts from the bathroom into my room, thus entering his enclosure. By the time I go to get Thor and put him in his feeding sack, he's coiled back in the striking position, and flicking his tongue into the air like mad. It's actually very cool to see him do it. And with me being curious to see his reaction, I stick my hand in the cage to pull him out, resulting in him raising his head up like a cobra, and striking me once or twice. He calms down once he realizes im not food/holding food, and then I can grab him.

Lol I'm not starving her! They go months and months without food sometimes, and she wasn't intersted last feeding, but I think that's because she needed a poo lol (had one two days later... Huge)
I'm feeding her tommorow anyway
Re: She tried to eat me! =O
My little girl will eat every three days like clock work! All the people that work where i get my hoppers ask if i have more than one snake. And cant beleive how much she eats. I let her scoot around on the floor and will always make her way to he mouse tank!!!! She is such a pig!
Re: She tried to eat me! =O
Guess you got warm hands...? Funny story. I have no idea. Did your hand smell like a small mammal?

I guess so lol. Well I do own three cats, but I'd washed my hands with soap thoroughly... So I dunno.
Oh but just to let you all know, she ate yesterday :) It must have been the fact that she needed a dump lol. She missed the rat three times lmao... I know they their aim sucks but come on! Got it in the end though :)
Cheers
Re: She tried to eat me! =O
Glad it worked out. Sounds like you have a great attitude about it. Our BP gave me a little nip when I was helping him with his shed. I didn't hold a grudge since his mouth was pressed against my finger while I pulled the skin from his head (ouch!). It actually made me less afraid of getting bitten since I learned under what conditions he'll bite and that it wasn't that bad.
