hey guys, i recently purchased my first carpet python and have some questions to do with handling. I have read alot of the handling threads posted which have been helpful however i'm concerned I have been misinformed on one topic by someone else.
I was told by another owner that if she tries to strike me when trying to handle her, to handle her straight away so she doesn't associate striking with handling. This seems to stress her out big time which can only make her more nervous?????? I don't want to over handle her but don't want her to be nervous everytime i go near her?
