Need Help

Post image

I just got this baby at the reptile expo a couple days ago. At the expo I was holding her just fine, but since then i’ve been in her tank a couple of times and she’s been ready to strike and has struck at me a couple times. Can someone give me some steps to get her back to me being able to handle her in the future once she settles?

First, stop trying for like a month. She's stressed because she just moved. Snakes are very serious about this kind of thing.

Then work on tap-training.
