snappy hatchy with no luck in taming

you cant expect a snake to be pleasant with a name like Hannibal!!

I had this problem with my spotty python she was very snappy , now she is calming down and not biting much at all and somtimes no bites at all .
How i done it was to put my hand in the tank and leave it in there for a few minutes the snake come over ans suss out my hand and i slowly slid it under the snake and gently lifted her out ,and i sat there quietly with her on my hand so she can roam around my hand and get used to me , it taken a while and now im seeing the results ,she is not nervous now when i pick her up she just grabs onto my hand with little or no snapping at all .

so bear with it and you will win your snake over at the end .

I personally would leave him alone till he gets older.
They tend to realise in time that nothing is going to hurt them. It just takes time.
I only handle them to clean out their click clack.
I know it is hard...when people get a new animal they don't want to leave it alone.
If you want a pet you can handle from day one, get a cat or a dog.
Snakes like to be left alone.

Ppl have to remember, reptiles ,snakes only tolerate being handled,they dont like it.Ive got a yearling Port Mac that was a very snappy snake,[ his name is snappy ] ive basically left him alone except to clean and change the water,3-4months later he is as placid as they come.
