Ok here is my situation. I just got a Burmese python on tuesday 11-16 from a lady out in Cali that apparantly didnt take the time to handle her. She is the meanest little thing I have ever seen. As soon as i walk in the room that I have her in she will start hissing and try to strike in my direction. I feed her today and she killed the rat but didnt eat it. I am going to try to switch her over to prekilled as soon as she becomes more tame. I have tried to hold her but when i let off of her head a little she tried to bite my hand and she tries to get around my arm and constrict. She did get around it once but i was able to get her undone no problem with a little help from my wife. So what can i do to try and tame her? BTW she has nice thickness to her and she is about 4+/- feet long. Thanks.
