Severely nippy BP!

[Moose84]

I'm not willing to transfer her to a tub. I'm still going to be coming in from a top down angle and I don't feel comfortable transferring her to a tub in the house I'm living in, if she escapes, she's most likely going to never be found and I'm not willing to risk it.
I appreciate the advice regardless and the video does help! So thank you for sharing it!

You used "I" or I'm" a few too many times in this post. If you want the snake to keep acting the way it is acting keep doing what you are doing. If you enjoy a constantly stressed out animal that you are afraid to clean it's cage out or handle it without a hook (its a ball python not a burmese or a reticulated python) then don't change anything.. Security is the main thing with these animals and it's gone over and over and over on here... Putting animals in enclosures that are too big breeds these type of issues. Might as well close this thread if you aren't willing to take the advice of the keepers you asked. The animal will only suffer in time because you will slack on your husbandry because you are afraid of getting bit.. Best of luck..
