Bite.

no pic but i finally got a weight on her. (1348g) I'll see if i can get a picture but she may be going back to her producer. She's done a 180 personality change since she got here, and i barely even look at her if i can help it. I talked to who i got her from and its extremely uncharacteristic of her to be like this. I'm thinking its my cats shes reacting to.

She's a 66% het joliff snow female, VERY reduced yellow pigment (in some lights she even looks axanthic to me) i'd love to get a comparison shot with her and my big normal female but knowing her she'd try to eat my camera.

She's just REALLY unpredictable. All the other ones i can look at and go "you're gonna bite me" but with her, she comes out of the cage ok, and all of the sudden i put my hand in the wrong place and BAM. she was out for blood this time lol. I think she was angry i took her shed skin away. she decorated her WHOLE cage with it. Apparently she was very pleased with herself lol.

That's ashame because she sounds like a beauty :( Do you ever try to hook her to get her out or do you just pick her up with gloves?

She hates the hook, i use it to let her know its not feeding time, and shes very calm when coming out too, its really the strangest thing. I dont have a hook big enough for her, i'll be fixing that eventually but she's 4 feet long so even if shes on the hook she can still come get me and my short arms. I try to warm it up before i touch her with it so its not a shock. Ill let her crawl out of the tub, support her neck and then get her back end.

She'd been out for a good 5 or so minutes before she took a hit at me. I was asked to try to handle her to see if she'd calm down like she was a hatchling and thats what i was doing since the cats were asleep or in the closet laying down.

Its just really strange to have a young carpet python thats nicer than an adult BP.

on a similar note, if i had a tooth stuck in my hand how would i know? All my other bites i forget about in a few mins but this one has been stinging pretty badly all day. Could it be because i was not the brightest and jerked my hand back?

LOL daang through the glove??

That's crazy.

Hey, I think I have the same floor tiles as you do LOL:rofl:

taking a look at the placement of the bite I would say it looks like it is right where you bend your thumb. That will make it a little more tender....plus wrestling it off a bit probably ripped it a little. Put some neo on it and a bandaide so it doesn't bend for a bit but make sure to take the bandaide off tonight so it can get some air.

Wow...she got you really good!
