Oh yea I completely understand. I've got 4, my first normal girl is on lrg mice (she refuses to switch to rats)and she was never nippy, second normal girl is on live small mice(she refuses f/t) was never nippy, my pinstripe female and the mojave male are both on f/t hoppers she's about 3 months and was never nippy either, but today when I talked to breeder he said lil MOJO was only about a month old when I got him so he's still afraid of anything coming or going lol. Do u have a snake hook? I am working on hook training him so that when I reach in I'm not dinner lol. I fed today so I have another 2 days before handling again but I plan to work with him lots to hopefully get him out of trying to bite me every time I get him out. He's so skiddish that when he's out if I move the opposite hand I'm holding him in he will coil up ready to strike it. He's a feisty lil sucker lol.
