Ok this is weird. I have had these 2 BPs [I think they are called ghost BP?] tan and brown for a couple months. I have handled them off and on since the previous owner gave them to me. All I know is her boyfriend abandoned them with her and she was terrified of them and used a towel to get them out to feed them in the bathtub. She fed then FF small rats and mice.
since I have had them I have fed them in a container and have given them live mice. [3-4 each feeding I don't want to feed them anything that could challenge and hurt them] but now, I have been bit once by each snake, Slinky was a total feeding accident, but E.T struck at me as I was reaching in to get him out for feeding. [maybe I smelled like a mouse since I had just feed Slinky?] and now.. they are hissing at me. To be honest it kinda worries me though. I have never had snakes and have hardly even layed eyes on them outside of books [I'm from Hawaii no snakes there but NV I can have one ]

the girl I got them from said they are about 6 years old... what is the best way to get them use to being handled with out getting harming them or me? If I can't get them to calm down I might have to give them away but I don't want to. I have grand kids in the house and do not want them bit. [for now they are not alowed within my arms length because one night one struck at the baby , i had her in one arm and the snake on the other and i guess E.T thought her pig tail was a mouse. eek! Lucky he missed]

and thats the other thing... is there any way [free] to find out their sex cause I say he he he but I really don't know.
