    Thumbs up Gloves off!

    Well i held Luna today (glove off) and it went really good, well not for me anyways lol. She tagged me 5 times and even broke my skin open on one bite. But i continued to hold her, i wasnt going to give her the satisfaction that if she bites she get put down...nope! Not happening! (I actualy recently made a thread about getting bit and not being able to control flinching or jumping and how it bugged the crap out of me, well this time when she bit me i didnt even jump or freak out, i was actualy really proud of myself lol)

    But after the entire "biting" incident she finally calmed down and relaxed in my hands. Only bad thing is i just now switched her to a new enclosure i bought at a reptile expo today so i have to let her settle in for a couple of days before i hold her again...sucks.

    Anyways, heres the little brat:


    And heres my flesh wound lol:


    And her new enclosure, a 12x12x12 Exo Terra:
    1.0 Green Anaconda-(No Name)
    0.1 Dumerils Boa-(Pandora)
    0.1 Leucistic Texas Rat-(Luna)
    1.0 Albino Texas Rat-(Jolly)

    Did you have to get stitches ? That looks pretty serious.

    Lovely snake and very nice enclosure.

    Congratulations on overcoming your fear of bites, it's a great milestone for some of us.

    Haha nah, just a bar of Lava Soap to clean up

    And thanks John! Funny story, if you know exo terra tanks you will know they leave space behind the foam background for cords, filters, etc...well Luna decided to go under the foam background and clumb up the back of the tank, well she got stuck lol. I got her out and slid some plastic back there to block her from doing it again.

    She's pretty! She sounds like a lot of fun. Like a toddler in her terrible twos. Hopefully before long she will calm down for you and no more bites
