Hey everyone!
I am the proud owner of Monsieur Fang, a super friendly Stimson python.
He's 2 years old and he handles well. My only problem is that I haven't taken him out of his enclosure myself and need some pointers.
His hiding cave is pretty massive but it's what he's used to (I purchased the enclosure he's been in for the last 18 months). Trouble is I can't hold his hiding cave properly (can't get a good grip, my hands are tiny!) and dropped it in the cage twice. I don't want to unnecessarily stress the poor boy out, which I'm afraid I have done already.
I've confidently handled pythons in the past but never taken them out of their enclosures, so I'm also a tad nervous about it (hurting him, scaring him, freaking him out, getting bitten - you know, the usual beginner worries).
Does anyone have any tips?
Am I right in guessing that I just need to do it t build my confidence?
Here's a pic of his enclosure
And Monsieur Fang next to his hide
Thanks everyone!
