Hey all,
So I recently got 2 Adult jungles they look superb but I have an issue - neither of them have ever been handled, well at least in the last 2 years of their lives..
They really hate me or anyone who disturbes them for that fact and are more than willing to coil and just strike at your multiple times (into the mesh or glass what ever)..
One even dislocated their jaw being stupid - my heart stopped, then remembered oh wait that happens and he popped it back in....
anywho, when they are like this i just leave them alone and come back later, they never get better though... It's very difficult to move them as they weigh a few kilos each and don't like going on the flimsy snake hook I have ...
1. Anyone know where I can get a very sturdy hook?
2. Is there anyway to make these guys less agressive? I know they are aggressive by nature, but I have the distinct feeling that they will try to take my head off if I ever held them.
I don't want to handle these guys really, That's what I have Diamonds for but it would be nice to be able to move them etc, I've seen them attack their food and being bitten by it doesn't seem a nice thing
