Hi,
Recently just got a Jungle Python and she is about 14 months. Very nice colouring and also eating healthy but she is just soo aggressive. The previous owners were scared of being bitten so she was kept in a small 1ft glass tank. she is about a metre long and whenever handled won't stop striking.
I have had out a few times, first day having her she bit me constant, just put on a long sleeve shirt and she will just tag me and then ask questions later. she is slowly becoming a lot more placid but I'm not afraid of getting bitten which is why I just let her tag me and get over it.
She is happy to sit there calm on my hand in a defensive position, if i move a finger she will instant strike back but ends up biting herself in the meantime. When she is focused on something I can use both hands and she is fine but soon as something moves in front of her...it gets tagged.
Any suggestions on taming this beautiful girl? She has a nice big 1.2m enclosure which she is not aggressive in, just seems to like the taste of my me :/
Any tips you can suggest would greatly be appreciated
