hi again
i just had arrabella out for a little cuddle and she wrapped right around my wrist and then tucked herself in, which is fine by me cos its lovely bonding with her. the problem came when i tryed to get her off gently and couldnt! to be honest with you, i dont know how to without hurting her. she did eventual slither off herself but how do i safely remove her when shes wraped around me that tightly?

thanks, sarah

As BE said, dont hndle for a while. My spike did this to my x so i left him alone for about a week and a half, feed him and left a couple of days then got him out, he hasnt done it since and that was about 8 months ago.
good luk

As above really...I sometimes put my arm inside the viv and they tend to let go and slither off into there hide on there own accord.

Start at the tail end and unwrap.

I wouldn't advise handling a new snake for at least a week to allow it to settle in and preferably until after a feed or two.

Also, I wouldn't handle a snake that's in shed as they feel very insecure when they are as their eyesight is even worse than normal, this may be the reason she was holding on so tight.
