My brother bought himself a hatchling stimsons pythons about 2 months ago! He is now just over 4 months old!
The problem is he can not hold him! We've tried everything that everyone suggests on every thread, we left him alone for the first 2 weeks after the move, we've made sure to feed him in a different place to his usual home, his temps are at 32 degrees with a temp gradient, he has a snug hide and we make sure every time my brother goes to hold everything is calm and quiet!
Even though we've tried all the usual things that people suggest this snake is still very aggressive! Like, just putting your hand at ground level outside the plastic container will cause a strike (he hits the plastic off course)! No one can go close to him or his cage without him getting super aggressive, I have never seen this snake in a non striking position!
does anyone have any tips or know what could be causing him to be this aggressive and defensive?
thansk heaps guys :lol:
