ok I am four days in to having my new seven month old spotted python and tonight she was striking at me constantly, she was smashing her face against the glass even when i decided it was best probably to leave her be. When I was holding her she was still staying in the strike pose. I rung the pet shop and they said to bring her in and they would do a personality test on her??? she was very placid and calm in the pet shop but has done nothing but try to bite me since I got her home. What do i do? she is beautiful but im starting to be rather scared of her, she goes into a strike pose even if i just walk past her tank. should I have gotten a younger one to start with? is it possible to get a rogue snake who hates people? Im sure I must be doing something wrong. I cant get anywhere near her now as soon as i open the door she goes into strike pose. How on earth do you get past the fear of getting biten! I hear it doesnt hurt but something in my brain screams WRONG when I see her about to get me! Is it possible to heal her of this habit or now that she has my scent will she always see me as a threat?
