been handeling kahn bout 3 times a week for litrally 3-4mins just to say hi while i change water and spot check cos he likes to poo in his hide. when handled he is opening his mouth as if he is "evil grinning" at me like "yeah im gonna eat ya" however hes never bitten but he has hissed which was at my boyfriend....to which my boyfriend got scared and put him away.
everything always happens when my boyfriend has held or is holding him is it possible he just dosent like my boyfriend?? haha |

Louise is spot on - I've no experience of RI (respiratory infection) either but I'm afraid it sounds very much like it. I'd recommend finding a good reptile vet near you (there is a sticky in the health section and plenty of people on here will recommend vets too.)
Best to get the little guy checked out, even if there is nothing wrong it will put your mind at rest, and if it is an RI it will be easier to treat now than later.
All the best. |

Just a thought, but could the squeaking be due to retained shed on the nose??? if not it could be an R.I which could make little snaky grumpy too (never had to deal with this but my neighbours royal had an r.i and it did make him grumpy). if not retained shed, best get checked by the vet. |

Sankes can get RI's. Not sure what to advise as I have never dealt with one but I'm sure that is a symptom. Someone else will be more help. |

Handling handling handling, only way to get them used to you. Valhalla had a fifty fifty chance of biting me everytime i picked her up, now she's not done it for months, as long as you try at least once a week shell get used to you.
Besides once she bites your boyfriend he'll be fine, bark is worse than the bite hehe.
I was terrified before i got tagged to the point where i'd wait for her head to be under her hide before picking her up, now after bit a few times im okay with it
EDIT: Sorry posted as you were posting and overlapped, if he has an illness then handling is not what I would recommend lol |

Strange. Does he calm down after a bit? Does he ever sit with his mouth open in the viv? |
