My own fault of course. I had my hand in the enclosure just fluffing up some of the flattend Aspen bedding, trodded to near her hide entrance and BANG, she nailed me and retreated immeadiatley. Drew some blood but didn't hurt. Guess she figured my fingers were mousey looking?
Last night she was out of her hide and stretched out across her branch, I tried take her out but man she took a hissy fit. Hissing like crazy. I have handled her 4 or 5 times since I got her a week ago. She just being moody?

she's probably trying to tell you to b**ger off and let her settle into her new home!  |

| As above, 4 to 5 times is probably too much handling for an acclimatised Royal, let alone one which is still settling in. |

I usually handle nyo for 2-3 days and have decided to give nelson another week to settle as he shyed away from his feed last night.
the only problem there is nyo is in shed and is taking hissy fits whenever my hand go's near and I can't handle nelson yet,
Oh the joys of keeping pythons LOL |
