This is one way, and an excellent one at that.

When I got Ajja, I did things a little differently. Not long after I got her, I started interacting with her every day. If she wasn't out and being handled, I had my hand in her tank for an hour or two. In a VERY short time, she became so accustomed to my scent that she appears to associate me with security and safety.

Full disclosure;

Ajja is a BP.

This was not a rigidly "scientific" experiment, so I can't PROVE my theory. I make no promises.

Even if I DO prove Mr acclamation theory, someone else may have a snake with a completely different personality. You could be that someone.

NEVER try this with a venomous animal.


Having said that, if you (or anyone else) tries this, I'd really like to know how it works out for you.
