JKR Pro Tips - Aggressive Hatchlings - YouTube
It about 2:35 when he shows his 'technique', and yes its a Ball Python, but would this work on a Coastal Carpet Python?
My young fella is nippy, and not the 'fake strike' nippy or 'runs around looking aggressive', more the 'draw blood' and 'attack you through the platic container even though i know i cant get you' nippy.
I am not stressed about getting tagged by him, and once i have him in my hands his is alot better, i am concerned that letting him tag me as i pick him up could either hurt his teeth, or cause undue stress.
He is about 6 or 7 months old so he still has alot of calming down to do. My question here is - would this 'technique' be good to snap him out of aggression? Or would it do more harm than good?
Obviously being careful to not be too rough when doing this.
Oh, and i think this is where the 'put your hand up to tell it too stop' thread was going, unless i read it wrong
If this is universally decided to be a 'very bad thing to do' i will delete the YouTube link.
I just wanted to bounce this of some more experienced people than myself (which isnt hard)
