Posted by Todd Lakin on January 02, 2002 at 21:12:47:

I need handling help. When i first bought this snake i handled him fine. now if i try to pick himup he snaps and trys to bite me . i bought what I was told what he needed . i got a tank. it is 30" long and 13" wide . it has a wood chip bedding. he has a water bowl big enough that he can go into to cool off. i bought a heat lamp. the only diference in his hbitat ow is that the bedding he was in before i got him was a softer grey material . so can someone please help me and tell me what i am doing wrong or why maybe he won't let me handle him and how I will be able to handle him again. Thanks Todd in NY
