Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Homebody]

Was he fed live previously? He does seem to have it backwards- But maybe he's less-than-thrilled with f/t prey so when it doesn't struggle (or maybe isn't warm enough?), he lets go.

That "should have been" a defensive bite (to your hand) but it sounds to me like he's hungry & when he caught something warm & wiggling, he decided to go for it. Silly snek!

He bites and wraps mice just fine. It's my hands that confuse him. The first time he bit me, he clearly thought I was food, but he bit and released. This time, the second time, he was clearly trying to defend himself and yet he bit and wrapped. Maybe with more practice he'll learn to bite my hands properly. Hopefully, not.
