Nice looking little burm. I have heard baby burms are kind of pissy and hiss a lot but outgrow it with age. I say just suck it up and take the hits!! It's just a baby snake and unless its a finger, it probably cant open its mouth wide enough to latch onto your hand. Heck i got bit by my 6' sunglow when i did something stupid and even that didnt hurt. It did bruise up nicely and bled like a stuck pig but it was so quick and she let go so quick, i really didnt realize what happened until i saw blood lol.
I used a twisted paper towel on Caesar my SD retic when he was a baby as he would charge first and check to see if it was food second lol. Worked well as the hook did nothing but piss him off.

I might have to try the paper towel instead of a hook. She mostly gets mad when I go to pick her up and wants to strike at me. I would be all for continuing to take the hits if my hand weren't already torn up from her. Unfortunately, she's managed to latch on 3 or 4 times with the last being a not so pleasant lock on the space between my thumb and index finger. She's not big on letting go for some reason.

Thanks! She's a stunner. Now I just need her to stop being picky and eat.

Re: Kira - Hypo Burmese Python Progression Thread
Beautiful animal! On my wish list for sure, congrats. What you may want to consider is the DOMINATION METHOD as explained and shown by Justin Kobylka for defensive ball pythons. Holding the animal in your non dominant hand, cover and press down with a cupping form with your dominant hand over the animal's head and body. You don't need to use a lot of pressure at all but just enough to get the animal to withdraw a little. Several motions like this in a session can and will probably help over time. Look at it as a form of quality interaction with the animal that should help with the defensive striking. If the animal is too large for you to reasonably perform this, you may want to work it with a friend or family member using two hands to hold and support the animal. Justin does have a YOUTUBE video showing this with a very defensive ball python hatchling.
Stay in peace and not pieces.

Maybe she is hungry. Most defensive bites are a quick tag and then either retreat or fight some more lol.

Then she should stop being a brat and eat when food is offered lol. She's really only defensive when I'm getting her out of the tub or trying to put her back in. She's mad I bring her out then she gets mad and has to go back in. She's special.

Re: Kira - Hypo Burmese Python Progression Thread
She is so beautiful! Burms are by far my favorite type of large snake. Her pattern is beautiful and that little face. So precious yet so feisty - hehe.
Cannot wait to see more progression pics!
