Yeah, see I reach into all my cages and just grab my snakes. Never been bit by any of them for that. The only snake I don't reach in over the top of the snake and just grab them is my JCP. Maybe after a couple years I can do that with her as well but right now, no way. I reach in but from the front and then just scoot my hand under her body and she climbs up my arm. So I guess in a way I do reach in still but not as arrogantly with her lol. I'll probably invest in a hook with the retic but we'll see. I'm probably crazy but I have never used hooks before.
And lol yeah Gio, my sunglow is great for just staring at out the front of the cage haha. When I open the door and stick my hand in, she perks up and does fast tongue flicks and when its not a rat and just my hand, you can almost see the disappointment in her as she lays back down haha. I'm pretty numb to getting bit now as when I got the JCP, she bit me probably about 6-7 times before she finally calmed down lol. I pretty much got used to her biting me when I got her, I just put my hand in there and formed a fist and let her go for it. She finally got bored of it and learned my hand wasn't going to eat her. Then it went to head butts, then mock lunges and now she just sniffs it when I shove my hand in her face but I do it slowly. I bet she would either bit or turn around quick if I rushed my hand in on her.
