Hey,
So I have a yearling Darwin Carpet python. When I first got him I tamed him so he never bit me. In fact in the 9 months he never even tried to. I had to go away / I stopped handling him for a month and now all of a sudden every time I go near his enclosure / try and get him out he is constantly being REALLY defensive and therefore can't get near him. I don't want to get bit not because it will hurt (Which I doubt it will as he bit me once a week or two a go and it didn't) but for his sake. I don't want him to rip his teeth out or something.
So in other words, what is the best and safest way for me to re-tame him? I understand I will get bit but I want to put that chance to a real min. as possible.
Thanks, Jacob.
P.S I never had trouble with my Murray Darling. Once he was tamed he was always tamed. I went 2 months without handling him yet I could still go straight in and pick him up without him even checking me out.
