    Never can forget these guys are wild animals. They do what they want within what they have opportunity to do. Rainbow is a sweetheart to almost everyone. There is one guy that I wont let hold her because something about him scares her. Now trying to eat Monty is something I did not expect. Not sure if was pure food or if he was trying to talk sexy to her and she got offended? Most likely was a food response.

    I have never had an issue having multiple animals out at once before during education shows or any other time. She reached out almost 4 feet to get to him. Happened so fast she had him before we could do anything to prevent it. Her lunge for him pushed me back a step with the force she went after him. She was draped over one shoulder. She grabbed his head and was not letting to. Took almost a minuet to separate her from her lock on his head and boy is she strong. I would even wager she is stronger than me in most cases and I am no wimp. I am happy she doesn't see me as food. IDK why she went off food for 5 weeks.

    I had even thought about trying to breed them. I guess that is a Hell NO! Keep in mind that their reach is huge! Much longer than you would ever have imagined. They are much stronger than you think. They are always wild. Love them both. Taking Monty to the vet today to get his face and jaw looked at. Hope his jaw is not broken. I sent the vet photos last night and he said was not an emergency to bring him last night but would be good to bring him in today. I think he is more scared than anything and for good reason.

    Perhaps you should bring a small vial of white vinegar with you when you do future shows to break food responses, just in case.

    There are ways to educate and not have two Animals who can potentially attack one another close like that.


    It could also have turned out worse for the animals,or for the people, involved.


    We as hobbyists are fighting an uphill battle. When things like this happen, especially when it could have been avoided, by simply following a one snake out a time rule (a good rule for safety for all as well as hygiene), it’s upsetting and can and does hurt the hobby.


    I’m all for education and getting people to accept. When done properly.

    I keep tequila in a spray bottle and was told that works well. Did nothing to phase her.

    Was a good friend of mine and we were not at a show but at my home. He breeds them and was talking to me about it. He was more experienced with them than I am and he was even caught off guard by her reaction. Trust me, lesson learned. Any by the way. We were 4 plus feet apart. Thought was far enough apart.

    I've never had white vinegar fail. Also if any of these educational events are at a public school you may want to rethink using alcohol.

    This doesn't bode well for Rainbow.
