Thats because you need to show the snake whos boss!! When it chomps your arm, you chomp its tail!! After a few of those, the snake will learn.....'if i bite this warm tree, i get a painful sensation on my rear end'

But I was told to alpha roll the snake to show her I'm alpha!

Most snakes are pretty obvious when they're warning you off or feeling nervous, but Pixie is just like, "La dee da... gently slithering along your arm.... looking relaxed... hmmm.... *SUDDENLY TURNS HEAD DOWNWARD AND CHOMPS*"
That's Pixie. She's pulled that a few times on me. So I opt for only taking enclosure pics now. LOL
She’s stunning.
Keep working with her.
You have a somewhat rare captive there and I want to see you fully enjoy her.

She clearly doesn't enjoy coming out, so it doesn't make any difference to her. She loves her cage. Even when I take her out to handle and move across the room, she would stretch out super long trying to beeline it back into her enclosure! Me taking her out would only be for my own amusement
And I'd honestly rather not have wounds all over my hands and arms. Maybe if I wanted to look really masculine. LOL

Yeah, her bites hurt more than I expect from such a small looking head! Pixie is 5 feet right now. I guess at least I'd still rather be bitten by a tanimbar than my green tree python though.

Haha was going to say, I'd probably take a bite from that scrub over the GTP. Them and ETBs have some seriously scary teeth. I;m waiting to get tagged by Pat but so far, so good. I reach in next to him during the day and change his water and he usually wakes up, turns to look at my hand and flicks his tongue and inches towards it and then either sits there or turns around and goes back to sleep.
And having wounds all over your hands and arms might make you look like a goth emo, that wouldnt be good...well unless you are a goth emo lol.

Seriously, those thick GTP and ETB heads have some long teeth in them! Particularly ETB, which is actually the sole reason why I got a GTP over an ETB. haha
Aw Pat's cute! That's swell! Gem also has never struck defensively while on her perch. She just watches cautiously while I'm going about my business cleaning her enclosure or whatever. Or she just stays asleep and doesn't move. Such a blob.
I'm not goth or emo, so that also means I should avoid handling Pixie for kicks. Sigh. LOL
