as above!

right i have had him (maybe her) for around 4 years but last year i moved to amsterdam and couldnt take it with me in the meen time it been looked after by my family but very rarely handled now im back i went to get him out and as i got close he went for me and bit my finger! he actually drew blood! my question is will me forcing him out make him angryer or will it tame him to be as he used to be??



cheers in advance :)

well as you dont know the extents of the damage not really. may need a vet to look at it but try to get hold of GP or another mod. they better with the vets thing.

yeah i am keeping an eye on him and his viv is always spotless!! and he always has clean water!

is there anything else you would suggest?

if he has lost a tooth the is a risk of infection!

after 4 years without a bite too! lol well just fed him again now! so will try again in a couple of days, its not me i worrie about as it didnt really hurt but i pulled out a massive tooth that was in my finger and i didnt think he had big teeth (by big i meen around 8mm long)!!?? i suppose that could of hurt him?? :(

t-shirt prob not the best idea as i want him to live through this!! lol :D

i wanted to get him sexed and a partner too but will wait and see if he calms down first!

thanks for the replys guys

too slow. curse you hannah

corns (like many snakes) dont like being disturbed. once out he should be fine. try puttin a worn t-shirt in the viv with him. this will allow him to get to know your scent and if he wraps himself up in it may relate your scent with security.

dont be put off and try again when ur ready im sure it was a one off

he might take a while to get used to being handled again as he hasnt been handled for a while but he should be fine with regular handling again...
