so my MD stays in her hiding place all the time. only got her on the weekend.
she's really really timid and doesn't want to be handled. 
how long would it take for her to get used to her new surroundings?
her enclosure is the same one she's always had, so the only change is the location of that.
i know i'm being impatient, but yea...just wondering |

i would leave her alone for 2 weeks, let her become acustomed to you, your house, new smells etc, then go slow, try to pick her up, 10- 15min 4 times a week can to wonders for a python in improving its handlablity
there are so many people on here that have so much info to give, you are in good hands
