I have just purchased a 4 yr old pair of diamond pythons, both do not handle real well, however this was metion to me due to the lack of handling, can I assume they will get better with regular handling. One in particular has an attempt a biting everytime I get her him out. How do I fix this problem, not real confident with snakes, however willing to work on the problem. I haver attached a photo of the bitey snake, also wondering if anyone thinks it has some Chenyie in it.
Cheers |

| | Seller | Join Date: May-07 Location: Newcastle | | | | I think I might try gloves did not think of that, as I an SCARED. I have been using a hook to get it out and mainly tailing it, trying not to get bitten. A 2 week turn around would be great. I have been getting it out 3 times a day at least. |

Let them settle in a bit and then try handling them, maybe a couple of times a week, hooking them out.
No, a bite doesn't hurt (suppose it depends where it gets you  )
