Hey guys,
great forum and sorry if I'm posting a similar post to any previous.
I just purchased my first snake.
I got myself a bredli.
Said to be just over a year old,
she can be quite aggressive when handling,
once she is out of her enclosure and explores she's fine, as soon as her attention is back on me she gets in the stike pose and gets twitchy if i go to touch her again.
Can this behaviour be cured with regular handling?
I have read on this site that snakes are all different. Some placid breeds can have a biters too and so on.
I have reared other reptiles (beardies) and I feel I may have missed on the bonding? Is this true?
shes a beautiful snake and I'd love to handle her more.
Would she be ready for breeding?
I feel a hatchling may rekindle my liking for snakes and dilute the fear of being bitten by my girl I have now.
Cheers guys.
Any feedback would help right now.
