Hey everyone! I'm new and need some advice on handling Monsieur Fang, my Stimmy...

[rvcasa]

"cage protective" - crap
"feeding out of its enclosure" - crap

Bulling newbies to believe your bull***** - crap

You have no evidence of any of that...

First of all, snakes never eat on same place!!
And specially in case of Womas, which are not ambush predators, but active hunters, they cover a vast distance looking for prey in their own burrows.

There's also been studies where radio track diamonds have traveled 30km in search of food/mate.

On a less scientific manner, young herps tend to acquire pythons so they can handle regularly and somewhat social with.

Brainwash novices with crap info - that a good handler is the one who has balls to take a few strikes, and is only a 'macho' if bare handle the snakes with no tools etc. is just plain wrong!

Confidence will come in due time.

...other studies show that snakes are territorial defensive/aggressive.

Maybe you should read his post properly. If you have trouble I can try to break it down in more simple terms with sock puppets.

Thanks for this post!

Yep, definitely getting a smaller hide for him and I fed him today! I fed him in his enclosure because I wasn't sure how long I was supposed to keep him in the feeding box (I thought you aren't supposed to touch pythons for 1-2 days after feeding?), so thought that this would be the easiest option for us both!

I am also much more confident in handling him!

Promoted to his first mouse!

Took it like a boss! Oui oui, greedy Monsieur Fang!
