Hi guys,
New to keeping snakes and I have a 10 month old Children's Python. I handle him every 1-2 days unless after a feed and he is still really snappy and always wants to bite. I have had him for only a month and bought him from a reptile shop.
I know they are supposed to calm down as they get older but I'm worried that because he is so snappy he will always be snappy. Will he grow out of it? And around what age do they stop being so defensive? I want to be able to handle him without having him want to bite me all the time.
Hope you can help .. Thanks.
