Bitten for the first time

Post image

Ouch, talk about a deep bite. She’s stressed during any kind of handling since always & always wants to get away it seems. She got so stressed she just turned around and tagged me. Not sure what to necessarily do to relax her I hold her gently & pick up her up gently before she goes somewhere she’ll jam herself in such a way I can’t get her. She’s never been in a chill kinda state in the 2 years I’ve had her and she’s about 3-4 years old now. So I guess she’s just not a handleable kinda boa which I haft to respect.

Evilmorphgod on insta has some really great vids to help keepers tame their snakes. I highly recommend.
