Hey, i hear you and feel the same way. I have always been afraid of snakes, big time. Last saturday, i decided to buy my first snake, a BP. He is about 18 to 20 inches. I was advised to wait a week to 10 days before touching him. The next day (sunday) i went in to change his water dish. He was out of his hut and bite (mouth open or closed) i couldn't tell, the dish. I jumped so far away.

last night, i wanted to try a feeding... I took him out and put him into another aquarium (one i will use to feed him only) he hissed a few time and didn't wanna have anything to do with his food.

i put gloves on to take him out and put back in his house.

I did notice he often puts his body in a (S) shape, head up. That freaks me out.

If you come into good ideas or anything, do post it. <

any help of info is a relief.

Luc, a.k.a afraid of a bite.

cheers
