Hey all,
I have a south western carpet python, 6 months old. Quite snappy at the moment and ive been handling him each day for around 5 minutes.
He doesn't seem to be settling down and was quite Fiestyet tonight when I handled him (had a 2 day break as he had a feed)
Do I just keep at it for 5 minutes each night?
How long does it take to calm one down?
I habe a stimmy also, he was pretty easy after a couple of days and now is the most chilled out calm little critter...but the SW I'm feeling I'm just not making any progress
First SW carpet python I have had and I know they are snappy when they are young. Just asking for some tips and how long it generally takes for them to chill out.
My little boy is really eager to give him a little hug but it's a big no no right now.
I handle him at night, by myself with no one else around in a quiet room. I let him run across my hand and give him direction as if he is continually moving but I keep him reined in. Using bare hands, washing before and after.
Any advice would be appreciated
