Decided today, as it is quite overcast here in Adelaide and as I had nothing to do that I would take my 14 month old BHP outside for the first time.
She is a great handler and has a good temperament. Only ever played up a bit when she moved into a 4foot enclosure. I'm assuming she was a bit stressed and strung out for a few days there.
However I tied my dog up, well out the way around the other side of the yard and got Chloe and took her outside.
Put her on the grass and she was quite normal etc. Noticed there were a few ants in this particular section so decided to pick her up and move her to where no ants were.
Second time I placed her down and within 10 seconds she started huffing and puffing (not quite her usual feed time hissing, similar manner though) and taking off. She was looking around, quite flightly and seemed to kind of stand me off as I moved and tried to calmy pick her up. She made a B line across the grass and towards the side of the house where there are outdoor storage boxes against the wall.
Trying to stop her or pick her just made her fire up, she wasn't too bothered in having a go at me as she was more focused on where she was heading.
She then found the wall of the house and tried getting behind stuff. Still trying to pick her up she resisted and looked pretty pissed off.
Ended up leaving her for a bit and testing the waters with a broom before quickly picking her up and hoping she wouldn't bite. Got her back inside and into her enclosure. She was still and as I closed the sliding glass she flailed around and hissed and then took off under her newspaper
Anyone ever experienced this kind of stuff? was quite a shock to me as shes over 4 foot and 600 grams already, and I've never experienced an angry or crazy python. So much for trying to toilet train her and give her a bit of outdoors time.:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:
Not to keen on taking my Bredli out for her first time now. What is she does the same :| lol
