snappy jungle

[tyson001]

i got a my first snake a yearling jungle from the vhs expo i left him for a week then been trying to handle him but he is being extremely snappy striking continuously but he calms down a bit when i get him out of the tank was wondering if you have any tips on calming him down and any tricks you use?

hahahahaha dont buy a jungle. They well knows to bite

 

[tankslapt]

patience and bandaids. lots of each. handle it every other day or so and it should come round.

Get a good hook and learn to use it =p haha. It really does make things easier to just hook them out when you need to. It may calm down in time, but it's still a good practice to get used to incase it doesn't or you get worse tempered ones in future.

I have 2 jungles one male and one female my male is so calm i can do anything to him. my female is abit more snappy while in the tank and around feeding time. with my female i feed her outside her tank so she doesnt think that everythime the door opens she will be fed. but just keep handling him he might start to calm down.

I wouldn't even think if getting a jungle if it wasn't snappy. That's the best thing about owning a Jungle right?

All hatchlings are always snappy i bet my hatchling albino would give your jungle a run for its money!

Jungles are beautiful our girl used to be snappy but they get better with age, she's three now and lovely...
cage defensive around feed time (and yeh maybe get in the habit of feeding out of the cage)...
she used to only want to go to Marcus didn't like being handled by females at all, but now even my youngest daughter 6 will hold her while I clean the cage out. Time, patience - a good hook... enjoy!

Only for now, they will calm down a lot with age, with enough handling you should end up with a lovely jungle

you really got a jungle for your first snake youre brave. keep handling it and dont show hesitation if your getting him out and it coils up keep trying, tats all i do with my jungle hatchie.

The brightest, hottest python I've kept is a bright yellow jungle and have accepted that she will always be a snapper. Jungles are such divas that way.

First snake.... jungle python..... snappy..... only had for a week.... handling.


How about letting it settle in first champ before you start handling hey?

Iv got a yearling SWCP had her a month now but get very nervous when I hold her as iv never been bit before. She hasn't tried to bite yet but still scares me haha. What do bites feel like

 

[tyson001]

My hatchy has calmed down so much in the last week, little bit defensive when I try and get her out but once shes out shes really good, but she never wants to go back in her click clack!
