Please Help me with my python!
Hey guys,
I am very new to this site and just thought I'd post a new thread asking for handling and "taming'? as such, tips.
I have a spotted python and have had her for about two months now, when i first got her she was very good at handling, never worried about me picking her up out of her enclosure, but recently every time i go to pick her up she will strike and has bitten me. I haven't changed a thing and she has shed twice, never refused a weekly feed.
Am i feeding her too often? I feed her in a seperate tub, although i'm going to be honest her last feed i fed her in her own tub because she was waaay too hard to get out. (I know i shouldn't feed her in her tub though so she doesn't associate my hand with food)
But i'm just wondering if i should be trying any techniques to make her like me? I read somewhere if you put one of your old worn shirts in their enclosure they become familiar with your scent and become comfortable? does anyone know if this can work or is it just a myth?
Any feedback or tips or techniques or anything i'm doing wrong will be much appreciated!
Thanks!
