Hey everyone, new here!
I just got my first pet snake a few days back.. I've never had much handling with snakes before hand but I've always been fascinated by them. I got a baby jaguar python, so pretty!
I'm a bit nervous though handling it, I'm trying to hold it as much as I can and even though he just crawls calmly over me I still find myself getting nervous and wanting to put it back into the enclosure.. But I suppose that will go as time comes and getting used to handling it. (still waiting for my first bite)
Curious though.. Any tips anyone can give on how to tell if its being defensive or its uncomfortable and not wanting me to pick it up? Possibly body language it gives out? I find when its coiled up and pointing its head directly at my hand I don't feel so comfortable picking it up..
Anyway, hope to be chatting to you all frequently, cheers!
