Hello! I've recently gotten my very first snake (A yearling Centralian Carpet Python), she's very healthy & active (eats well, has shed well), unfortunately on the handling side of things it's a very different story.
She's very defensive/aggressive towards me when outside of her enclosure and no matter what I do, she goes out of her way to attempt to bite me. She doesn't like the snake hook in the slightest and the only way I can manage to get her out at all is if I pick her up with a snake bag covering my hand and even then, she still acts very defensive/aggressive.
I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or advice, I'm really unsure where to go from here as I'm not very experienced in the hobby.
Thanks
