Tight S poses, ready to strike!

Just a little update on Kyrre the ATB.

Handling has improved! She will still strike at things that move too quickly but I am now able to handle her without being bitten and she no longer bites the snake hook when I take her out of her enclosure :slight_smile:

I got these photos of her after she got a bit fussy with my Hubby moving around too much, I’ve never seen a snake hold such tight S coils before lol.

Liking the welding gauntlets. Lol. I wear safety glasses as well. Not for my pecky atb but I recently got bit on the throat by a white lip. I have a scar on my right eyebrow from an amethystine that I was handling @ 30ish years ago. I know, not the best way to encourage other keepers.
Remember, they all calm down, eventually.
Beautiful serpent.

She used to bite the gloves quite frequently as well as anything else she could reach pretty much lol. Over the past 2 weeks I’ve finally got her to where she won’t bite everything and anything that comes her way. Thats where I am seeing her progress :slight_smile:
These past few handlings she only struck out a few times without any actual bites.
