Hey everyone,
So ten days ago I got my female Coastal Carpet Python (She is about 50 CM long) from my local pet store. She was in a very small enclosure and I took her home and put her in my 4x2x2 enclosure. I fed her on the 20'th of Feb (Wednesday) and she ate her rat well, she didn't resist at all. Now that it has been 3 days I tried to pick her up whilst she was in her enclosure and she freaked out and got into the striking position. I then tried again later on and she leaped at my finger and started breathing heavily.
I am just after any answers that could be helpful in this situation as I do not want a pet snake that I can't even hold or take out of her enclosure. Could it be that she is still getting use to her new big enclosure as apposed to the little one that she came out of at the pet shop?
I'm extremely anxious to hold her and just wanted to know what to do in this situation as she is my first snake ever.
Thank you,
Matt
