Naughty snake!
Dec. 17th, 2007 11:05 pmSo, Chris-the-boss took on a female Burm, hatched either very early this year or late last. She's small for her age, and because she hasn't been handled - the guy who had her is an idiot - she's as wild as an eagle and savage as hell.
I've been working with her to try and make her realise that being handled really is OK, and you don't need to bite. She tagged me nine or ten times the first day (including ending up with the tip of my little finger in her mouth which, yes, was extremely painful), none at all the second, and only once the third day. So we're making progress.
( Picture of her under the cut - she's called Fleur. )
