Re: Tips to help a BP become less head-shy?
Sorry didnt mean to come across as being nasty, but it just seems that some people think that snakes should be petted like other animals, most usually get over the flinching with normal handling, and some dont. I guess I dont really make an attempt to get them over the flinching by intentionally touching their heads..:rolleye2:
But I guess you all are the experts though :bow:
Re: head-shy BP hasn't eaten in a month+?
I have an EXTREMELY head shy male BP, and nothing that I do works. He has eaten a few times since I bought him a while back, but now it's been a month. I have left him alone (no handling) for a good amount of time so that he could adjust to his enviroment. The tank is located under my beardies which has a skirt which helps keep his enviroment calm from all the busy people walking by. I have even given him a smaller hide, which seemed to improve his mood for a short while. He was constant fresh water, and humidity varies but is check regularly (my house is very dry). He's had medium temp mice and hot mice. The last thing to try in MY books is a larger mouse. Tonight (he has blue eyes so he's going to shed) but since it has been so long since he's eaten, we figured we'd try. Once we got the mouse hot he struck, but since he missed it, he would not try again. I'm so frustrated with this snake! :rolleye2: Can anyone help me?
