    I got her Feb 9th 2018. The store said they had her for 4 months or so, so I'm estimating she's about a year and a half roughly, give or take. When does a BP be considered an 'adult' instead of a juvenile anymore? Is it when they're ready to breed or when the pass year 1? I'm feeling like this is a 'I'm a moody teen' stage for her.

    I've felt that way about the water too but I've seen so many people say 'you gotta de-chlorinate your water! Iz bad for your reptiles!' I figured 'Why not? It's 8 bucks for the reptisafe, I'll try it'
    Oh ok. I thought you'd had her only a few months. I must've misread something. But any which way, just be patient with her. I'm confident she'll come around. I honestly think going into the enclosure less often will help.

    Going in with confidence goes a long way too. If you're displaying any signs of nervousness the snake can pick up on that and become nervous as a result.


    And yeah, the water thing only applies if your water is unsafe for your consumption as well. Safe for you = safe for your snakes.
    This is why I feel it's so important to cross reference information and learn from reliable sources. The internet is a fantastic learning too, but also a breeding ground for false information. So pick and choose who you learn from carefully.
