Getting her back in the cage
I've been having more difficulty getting Lily back into her cage. She just knows when she's close and always darts for the lip of the cage. For some reason she figures now that I've bothered her and taken her out of the cage, she should be the one to decide when she goes back. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get her back in?

Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand

LOL ... that's common ... they're pretty smart ... it really stinks when a big 4,000 gram girl doesn't want to go back in 
Use them muscles!!! Their brain is the size of half a peanut, I'm sure you can figure out a way to get her in there!

Re: Getting her back in the cage
They may have the brain the size of half a peanut but I'm the mother of two small children and my brain doesn't have enough juice at the end of the day (assuming that my brain was working when I woke up)  I CAN get her back in but I was just wondering if anyone had any little tricks.

LOL ... nope, not that I know of ... I just try and aim them where I want them to go

Re: Getting her back in the cage
Oh well...it was worth a shot! I guess if I can get the 3 and 5 year olds in their beds, one more problem child won't kill me.  Of course mine is still little, so it's not a big hassle.
Good gracious how do persuade 'big bertha' it's time for bed. That must be fun!

Re: Getting her back in the cage
I use their one major weakness against them.. most ball pythons are extremely head shy so I just cup my hand over or around their head and this usually gets them to go in the direction you would like them to

Re: Getting her back in the cage
COOL! I'll have a go at that when I get her out tomorrow. Hopefully I won't get myself bit, but she's never been nippy.  Thanks!!!!
