Ok so I’m completely heartbroken lol I finally put together some projects and bought 8 snakes. I contacted several well know reputable breeders and went over what I was looking for. It took months of back and forth conversations and I always stated that mellow temperament was really important to me. Snakes were chosen and some arrived today.
First one one out of the box is a Mojave Pied male and right away all he did was lounge at me straight out of the bag �� I was lucky to even be able to place him in the rack. The other 3 snakes were ok. One was very mellow and sweet and 2 were slightly nippy but at least I was able to hold them.
What should I do about taming the nippy aggressive ones? Buy gloves to handle them daily? I’m just so scared because my kids were so excited to see them and they’ve always helped me with the snake husbandry but these snakes are really not nice
Yes I know that most of you will say it eventually happens and I will get bitten but in the 10 years that I have kept balls I have never been bitten nor had aggressive snakes. I’m seriously considering just asking to return these balls and stick to Kenyan Sand Boas ����
What can I do to make it easier to work with them daily?
