hey guys
firstly, thanks to everyone who gave me some help on finding breeders and setting up for my new/first snake!
i bought a high yellow diamong the other day, she's beautiful (although only a few months old so not yet yellow) and i just cant stop watching her!
i've only had her for a week, fed her once (she was due for a feed) and she ate very well and quickly. the only thing is she is SNAPPY, and i mean snappy. you can't hold her for more than a few seconds without her biting, and she's biting 2 or 3 times a minute. i'm gentle with her, supporting her weight, letting her slide around in my hands but making sure she doesnt drop. what am i doing wrong?? will she grow out of this, or have i just picked a particularly angry python? it's making me avoid picking her up =(
