haha thanks! Pixie is normally snappy both inside and outside her enclosure (always worse inside though), but I happened to catch her in an oddly calm mood today! Or she just decided to have mercy on me.Originally Posted by EL-Ziggy
She looks GREAT Red! She's stretching out and filling in nicely. I like your gloves too. I have to get myself a cooler pair. I used to snicker when I saw folks handling non venomous snakes with gloves until I got a scrub. Is Pixie snappy outside her enclosure? My male is most likely to bite when I'm taking him out. He's usually ok after that. He's only tagged me one time when I was handling him but I think my GF startled him. They always seem poised to strike to me though.
She's tagged me a few times out of the blue while outside the enclosure, so I just don't really take my chances because it's a high chance that any handling=get bit. She acts like she is all chill, just slithering slowly along your arm as if she's a docile ball python... then WHAM she bites without warning. LOL
I've heard both ends... that tanimbars are either more docile, or that tanimbars are significantly less docile, compared to mainland scrubs. Pixie is obviously less docile, so there's my input for the species LOL
