|  | Regular Member | | | | | very nice looking snakes, especially the male in my opinion and have to agree that laka does not look so gentle in those pics!! good luck with them settling in. |

Jungles gain their color with growth, right? |

Yeah...Laka isn't tame at all. She is worse than the GTP's that I used to own. I have a Coastal CP and she is striky in the enclosure, but if you get her out, she's fine. Laka and Maka are horrible biters! I get them out with gloves, because its just a repetitive bite. "bam..bam...bam" over and over. She even tries to knock herself out whenever I'm moving around in the room. You can hear her little nose hitting the glass sides. I'm sure they'll calm down.
Anyone that has had, or presently own JCP's have any advice for me? |

| | Regular Member | | | | | i have not really owned mine long enough to offer much advice but i would have just thought that regular handling after given time to settle in would be the best........how long have you had them for? mine is getting calmer and calmer and about 50% of the time i dont get bitten anymore and its been about 2 months or so since i got him..... |

I've had them for about 7 days now. Not very long at all. I've had each of them out once, yesterday I held Maka, and today Laka. Maka stopped striking after a while, and I took off the gloves and only got bit once. Laka didn't stop striking. Every movement she thought was going to kill her or something. She ended up wrapping herself around one of my fingers so tightly that I could feel my heart beat in it! haha. She just kept squeezing tighter and tighter. Cute little guys | | |
