Well, Caesar and i were both new to this and we both suffered lol. Me with a couple bloody fingers and Caesar pissed off with me restraining his head. Was his first time with me doing it and like i said, he was pissed. Shoved my hand away a number of times, gave me stank eye, shoved his hide around while inside it. He was a little better after a couple hours. I was able to lift his hide and pet him some but he still shoved my hand away a couple times and wasnt his social greeting self lol. Think he is still a little pissed at me. Should be fine by tomorrow. I would offer him a peace offering of a guinea pig but he just ate the rat last night which caused this whole fiasco haha.
And yeah, a large snake is a handful. Caesar wrapped around me and my leg and kept trying to pull his head free. I had to shove his body back in the cage and let his head go and then he sat there breathing heavy and shoving my hand like a madman as i was petting him to reassure him it was ok. He was having nothing to do with my condolences haha.
