lol I can understand some of the jumpy people here when I 1st started feeding Pythons I used to flinch every time.
I think after 20 years plus keeping snakes I am just so used to it now I never flinch I just focus on trying to get the head hit 1st lol
I remember showing a cousin some of my snakes a couple of years ago which was funny as I brought various Ball Pythons out and one of the adult bloods and he was scared to death, then I come in the room wearing elbow length gloves holding a baby female blood.
He was like how come you never wore gloves for all those other snakes and you do with that little fat thing. At which point the little fat thing sprung off my gloved hand onto his chest just missing his nose with a very fast strike.
He understood why then , hehe ...though that same female which is called Jaws because of its attitude back then is much tamer now.![]()
