| that is a cool name actually! all i can think of is keep handling her.little and often is the best way (maybe 4 times a week for 15 minutes a time at first? if she is really bad you could wear gloves to get her used to being handled and then wean her off of the gloves later. sounds like you've got your work cut out! good luck and grats on your first bite lol! |

Well the person who I've got her from has never handled her and he had her for just under 7 months =|
I got her into a pillow case with a snake hook which I got just for this snake.. I think I will let her settle down for a while and then try with biker gloves on =] I can see it in her eyes that she wants to be handled but it just unsure..
Also found out she is a pure 100% striker when feeding.. which is a good thing ent it.. ? |

| Woody definately try the gloves. If one of mine feels contact from my skin he hates it jurks about and alsorts, but if i have my thick gloves on he is fine and loves being handled. You never know it might help to calm her down :) |

Red123 Yeah I'm deffo going to get gloves on when she is settled down she is being very active right now.. All temps are bang on but only had them running for 4 hours so they might change, Will keep my eye out! Is it a good idea to give her a little soak in the bath..? I soak my smaller corn every month and he loves it, Helps him shead too.
I've just guessed her size from her viv, I'm thinking 4+ft Her mucsle tone is fab! She has on ikkle scuff on a scale on her underbelly =/ She has mega bright colouring just like the corn on the top of this form.. |
