Hi there,
I purchased a lovely coastal hatchie female a month ago, who was handled regulary and never bitten. I found this true in her first week with me, she was lovely and not flightly at all. In her second week, I fed her a pinkie and she ate it very quickly, and wanted more within 5 mins. The next feed, 5 days later was a fuzzy, and once every 7 days a fuzzy since then.
I haven't handled her much, as I don;t want to disrupt her digestion, and I handled her 3 days after a feed, and then every 2nd day till her next feed. But now, since I started her on the fuzzies, she acts pshyco, striking the cage as we pass, and as soon as I enter her room, she maintains a 'cobra' pose, ready to go at us, and as soon as I open her lid, she shoots up and nearly grabs my face. :shock:
My quiet little girl has turned into a worse bitey snake than my scrubby, does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help would be great.
