Big Gopher Snake
ok so yesterday i adopted a 6 foot albino gopher snake from my herp society. i handled her at the presidents house and she was really cool. So for 24 hours i gave her sometime to chill and i had to take her out to do some stuff with the cage. Well she will NOT let me touch her i got her just barely off the ground and she was hissing SOOOOO LOUD and she thinks she is a rattle snake so my question to you is do i take her out and show her whos boss or do i leave her be for a week? thanks -Josh

Re: Big Gopher Snake
Let it settle in.
...and you will NEVER be that snake's 'boss'. The snake might learn to put up with you though

Re: Big Gopher Snake
You answered your own question. If you know you should wait a week, why are you only waiting a day?

Re: Big Gopher Snake
I don't think snakes relate to time the same way we do, especially if they're sitting in a cage.
Anyway, do what you think is right. That's what I would do.

Re: Big Gopher Snake
Gophers are one of my favorite colubrids. Along with bullsnakes, they are just darn impressive!
