Just had Ambition out for the first time.. =D
I was chnaging her water bowl and left the glass door open and she came half way out so I kinda pooped myself and grabed to cotton gloves and a dust pan brush.. And carefuly picked her up tail end and then pinned her head down with the dust pan brush (hurd it was good to do it with) She IS over 5ft like I thort. Very strong!! Soo glad She's been out =]=]=] Hearts beating like mad but s'all good =] Best things arnt planed.. When should I try handle her again ? few days ?

Is Ambition a bit of a monster then?
You should try as much as you can to handle with your bare hands, so they get used to your feel and smell etc.
Gloves are useful as a starter if you're too timid though |

As Kaz said, is Ambition a bit of a handful?
Not had any dealings with Rat snakes, but told they are very similar to corns.
9/10 once they are out they are fine (if there a bit fiesty in the viv)
Just brave it, and grab her with your hands (not too hard obviously lol) it's soooo worth it! |

I am going to get her out a few more times with gloves just to make myself feel better as she knew I was scared lol
I dint let go of her head so she couldn't bite me, next time I'll try hold abit down from her head and hopefully end up with her sliding around :)
