defensive is different than knocking them out of food drive.Originally Posted by PiperPython
I've been trying to hook-train my white-lipped python, but no matter what, he immediately gets defensive
As most snakes get older and bigger, then aren't as defensive as they grow more confident.
Some take a lot more work than others.
Hook training plus shield usage usually can work to get them out, then gentle and secure handling over time can help knock out the defensiveness. Some are just more touchy than others and some are always going to be crabby about handling.
I hope things get better with time
