    Tell me if this is a female thing...

    Story 1. So the other night I went into the Herp Closet and was about to pull up Hissy's hide to make sure she was doing ok when I hear a hiss and see a head flying towards my hand. I tried it a few more times by lifting it slower to no avail. Ash comes in, picks her up, and it doesn't even phase her.

    Story 2. Our new ATB, Cortana, was ok with me Saturday. Ash took her to Emerald Bay with her to get her sexed to make sure she was a she and noticed she had a bad shed so she put her in a tub to soak her. Well when I got there to take her home Scooter pulled her out and handed her to me, not a hiss, strike, menacing posture or anything. Later that night I opened her tub that she was soaking in to see if she was doing ok and of course the first thing I get is a fat head coming at my hand at high speed. Well yesterday Ash moved her to her QT tub and whadya know, nothing.

    I have come to the conclusion that the only female herp in the house that tolerates me is Nuada the crestie. All the guys are ok and have never hissed nor struck at me but there is just something about the females. And I do the exact same stuff to the females as I do the males.

    What's a guy got to do to get some peace from the female herps! lol.

    I couldn't imagine a pissy anaconda because I doubt that at an older age they wouldn't miss.

    You're right about that. That would also hurt very much so. She's my sweetheart, and I believe she loves to be held, matter of fact I will probably take her out in a bit, when shes done basking. Might even snap a few pictures.

    One of my red tails got hissy with me for a few weeks. I just left her alone other than feeding and cage cleaning and one day she just got over it.
