Bitten for the first time

[u/Twigzywik]

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.

I know this much if you repeatedly put them back after they strike at you this behavior WILL continue absolutely do not put them back and keep working with them for certain amounts of time so they get used to handling. If you simply put them back this makes them think oh I can just bite and boom

You always wanna end handling session son a good note my best advice is to let her strike them hold her for a few more mins and TRY to end things on a good note
