Bite.

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...0-11at1344.jpg

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!

definitely ripped (my skin) the glove looked fine after, go figure. I can see at least 12 individual puncture marks plus the gashes. She just decided she no longer wanted to be friends with my thumb.

well she clearly has an attitude.....reminds me of my step daughters....lol
