Thumbs up Be the tree.

Thought I would share a trick I just learned.
I about a month ago got this adult Butter Corn and she was at a local breeder. They were letting her go because they lost the Male that was going to be paired with her.
My wife saw her and told me and I figured I would get her for my adult male.
Enough of that.
Problem, she was very hard to handle. She didn't bite but she constantly moved fast. It would wear me out.
I tried hanging her every day except after feeding.
I finally posted a question online and the Snake Whisperer had an answer.
While holding the snake, gently move your arm up and down like a tree branch.
To my surprise, she wraps herself around my hand and stays calm and relaxed.
I was able to take this picture with her in one hand.
This might be old news to some of you but I have had snakes sense the 1960s and never heard that trick.
