Just wanted to know if anyone else's snakes act like this. I recently got a coastal carpet about two weeks ago. She is 3 years old and approx 3-4 ft. I was told she would be fine to handle and that after the first couple handles she would calm down but she hasn't calmed down the slightest. She is very flighty. Any chance she gets she will run away but she isn't very aggressive (only bit me once and constricted like hell) I try to move her from he enclosure to a tub to feed her but she isn't having a bar of it,as soon as she is out off she goes and it takes some time to get her back in her enclosure because i don't want to be rough and just grab her Incase it hurts her. She also spends ALL her time in her hide. She only ever comes out for about an hour either at 3 am-4am or 5.30am-7am. I understand they are nocturnal but she refuses to stay out of her hide. The temps are set to 33c hot end and 28 cold end. She is feeding well though. I was just wondering I this is normal and if anyone else's carpets act like this. It's a Pitty that she is impossible to handle.
