Yeah she is very chill and awesome now that I have gotten past the me being nervous part I am going to hook train just because it makes alot of since in my head to get them out of hunt mode before reaching in haha I have done it once with her and once with him and so far it seems to do what it's suppose to lolOriginally Posted by Sauzo
Awesome. And yeah snakes get nervous if you are nervous. I found that out with Caesar when I got him. I was afraid he was going to bite me so I tried to hook train him and it made him mad. He opened his mouth at the hook lol. I gave up and just use a twisted up paper towel to rub on his head if he is excited when I open the door. otherwise I just reach in from the side and scoop him up from underneath and he's fine. Sometimes he wants to come out and other times he just tries to squirm off lol.
I never hooked trained my boas. I just reached in lol. But I did use the go in from the side and underneath method until I was pretty sure they were "tamed". Now with Rosey who i'vre had for 4 years, I just grab her whenever. Vicky I've only had almost 2 years and I go in from the sides with her as she seems to really love to eat and usually her response to the door opening is perk up and look for dinner, kind of like Caesar lol.
I'm sure she will mellow out more with time. Once they get to know you and know you aren't going to hurt them, they tend to not even care about you grabbing them. At least mine don't seem to care. Plus with age comes confidence. Older bigger snakes know they are pretty safe.
And I remember the days when my girls were small like that /tear
