Angry calico

In my collection thread I said that my calico is a bit testy sometimes and tries to eat fingers. Here is a video to prove it lol. Enjoy. http://youtu.be/c7LMBjkqFco

Looks like a linebacker about to blitz the crap out of the quarterback lol :taz:

This is what i thought of too lol. Except i was thinking more of a D end. Like when they get down in the stance you'll see their hand shaking or their ankle bouncing lol.

Shes feisty!

I like snakes like that more than cuddly ones.

If he wasn't striking, I would think he's happy like a little puppy dog :P. Love the tail wag!

Wow! I think your fingers might have just been appetizers before he moved on to your face! :P

so here's a little method you can try. Place a t-shirt you've worn in there with him for a few hrs, then try picking him up, if he's still feisty, simply drop a shirt of top of his head them pick him up quickly, he'll calm down once you pick him up

Oh I'm not worried about it. A 175g snake don't scare me lol. I just think its funny.

Here's my method for a snake that size, say "calm down sassy pants" and proceed to pick it up.

its not about being scared... he might be stressed...

Well he clearly doesn't like something.

Wow he/she is FAST! I've never seen them tail wag like that. How cool

Ya hopefully he calms down before that.

Sooooo angry and sooooo beautiful. :D He hates the world and everything in it, lol. I think he thinks he's a baby Corn with all that tail rattling going on. :rofl:

Haha! Angry as hell but super nice lookin calico you got there. :gj:

ROID RAGE!

I've had 8 snakes in the last 3 years and never had an aggressive one. I don't know what I'm missing. lol

lol Thank you for the good laugh! I've never seen anything like that tail wag before. Damn you'd think you just told him he's going to the vet or something. :P

I really hate saying that an upset animal is cute, but that is adorable! I've never seen a ball python do that before. I've had a few encounters with wild colubrids that have put on that show, but it looks so different with a python. Thanks for the video!

I tend to have snakes from a particular breeder that are awfully FIESTY!!

I don't mind it and with a little working with they eventually become fairly sweet.

Good video that has worked for me with several hatchlings..... working on my latest 2 now. A few minutes a couple times a week and they are settling down. I do hear a "thud" when I walk past their rack sometimes. They will still strike at me through the tub!!

The beginning was funny. They're like mouse traps. One goes and sets off all the rest.

LOL wow!!! I have never seen a BP act like that!

I love that tail wag!! I would much rather have a snake like that, than a shy scaredy pants that has a horrible feeding response. Beautiful calico btw:)

Wow. That's a lot of hate in a little package, lol. Hope he settles down before he is 2000 grams and doing that! :eek:

Crazy thing is, he is a picky eater. Me more what's the rat to go away then eat it. I tried explaining to him that if he eats it the rat WILL go away, but he doesn't listen. Lol

Haha, yeah they never seem to understand that if they just eat the pesky thing, it will stop bothering them. The last time I tried to feed my picky pastel girl, the rat got bored and decided he wanted to ride around on her back like she was a choo-choo train....and for the life of her, she couldn't figure out why she couldn't get away from him no matter where she went. So round and round the tub they went lol
