I feel really stupid about this one, but hear me out....

Posted by UMDKingsnake on October 20, 2001 at 16:11:09:

Okay, so I have gotten my little Taiwan Beauty and she is doign fine...I am loving thiss species. However, She is still a tad bitey (although she is getting better). Now, the thing is, I have a very strong pull back reflex that has never really had a chance to calm down....all of my other snakes have either come to me very tame, or getting them used to handling was unusually easy. So, my problem is this, how do I kill the pull back reflex when the little girl strikes...I know that she can't possibly hurt, and I feel like a moron about this, but any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot
