Pixie the tanimbar scrub python

[redshepherd]

Fiona, how is Pixie doing? Got pics? Thanks

She's doing great! I post her pics and videos sometimes on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqvUHo8AkAr/

She's 5 feet in length at adult size and hasn't grown for quite awhile, so very average for her species. Still spicy but has been much calmer when I handle her wearing gloves. Though frankly, she has still bitten the gloves a couple times while removing her from her cage LOL.

So how do you calm down an overly bitey snek?

Some species are just naturally defensive and they'll never be "calm" in the way a ball python or boa constrictor is, no matter what you do. That's just how they are. And there are always docile individuals within the species that are out of the average.
