Very Angry Snake

[Kristy_07]

There are some snakes that are just absolute nut jobs whilst in their enclosure. i have a male darwin that is strike happy but if i have him outside for 5 minutes on the ground roaming around then i can pick him up without a hook and hold him. But in his cage he wants to kill everything in sight. and he is 3 years old hasnt grow out of it at all. I have 3 Bredli that are absolute gems put hand in enclosure they come up wrap them selves around my hand and wanna go walkies.

That's nice to hear, luvezit. My 10mth-old Bredli is still nervy and a bit snappy, and I can't wait for him to settle down (hopefully) and get cuddly What age did you get yours? Were they snappier when younger?

Thanks, luvezit. They sound lovely - would love to see some pics. Were they snappier were younger and have since settled, or have they always been angels?

Only the girl was a bit snappy but she settled down. My only choice is now if i want to go down the breeding path in a few years time.

Thanks again. Good luck if you end up breeding

Its a Darwin so it thinks its a pitbull . They are all like that just put up with it and it will calm down with lots of handling and age / size .

Yep sums it up nicely, although not all Darwins are aggro. If you handle it gently, regularly without stressing it out the snake should calm down with time. As Simon Stone says, the way a snake turns out often reflects the keeper, not the kept. More often than not this is true.
