Hey guys, happy new year to all
First time owner here, 0 experience with reptiles.
Ive been reading alot about them and how to take care of them. From my understanding it seems a spotted python is a good choice for a first timer.
Feeding, temperature control seems pretty straight forward, however i have one question, and there seems little information about it online.
My python is angry, it strikes at each chance it gets. As soon as i walk into the room he puts his head up and gets into a strike position. He has been fed only few days ago. He is a year and a half, im not sure if he is a baby or not. I have been bitten alot and he draws blood every time. So do they all bite at this age ? Can i get him used to me? How do i deal with it? Should i let him bite me x100 before he stops or? I really have 0 idea. I read alot that they dont hurt when they bite. But let me tell you it does hurt, its like 2 needles going in.
Any advice?
