Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Bogertophis]

Wiggles just struck my glove while I was changing his water. He was partially in his hide, but the part that was out of his hide was wound up and ready for action. I thought the gloves would be too unappealing for him to strike, but I was wrong. Next time, I'll stop and tap him out of food mode before I put myself in range.

Now you know...no glove goes untested for Antaresia- Though had you blown the scent of the glove to him, he may well have reconsidered his wasted effort.

Gloves are still providing the "motion" snakes go after- so with some of my reactive rat snakes, I block their view (when they're peeking out of a hide) with a ping-pong paddle- it works great- just lets them know "nothin' to see here".
