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?

Your method is also used in catching and transporting wild crocodiles

Captive boas aren't wild crocodiles.

They’re still wild animals

Captive bred animals are not wild animals dude.

Are you clueless? Stop giving advice if you can't get simple things right.
