New reptile owner! :)

[djdamo]

Hello!,

Have recently started keeping reptiles after have aquariums for about 3 years. Got "Mushu" my first beared dragon about a month ago and he/she has settled in great. Currently working on a diy fake background for the enclosure which was also diy.

A few days ago i picked up my first snake. A male Jungle Carpet python named Dexter. He is still settling in and is not veruy happy at the moment. I fed him his first pinky rat yesterday and after a few goes at it he finally landed a good strike and it was gone. Going to let him settle in for a few more days and then start to handle him. Hopefully he calms down a bit as he is quite agressive even when i walk past his enclosure.

Cheers Damo

hang something like a tea towell or cloth over his enclosure for a week or two to let him settle in, then remove itand seehow he goes when you walk around. I've had my jungle for 5 months now and he is now handling like a dream and I'm yet to be bit.....first snake too.
