SunnyDelight said:i have never laughed so hard in my life!!! congrats! you are a brave brave soul. it's funny cause i've only ever been bitten by hatchlings and you can't even feel that. my best friend owns an anery with a psychotic feeding response (meening that's the only time she will bite, is if she misses the mouse) but she finally got bit yesterday and called me at work she was so excited. now she says she's gotten over that last lingering fear that i think all snake owners have until they are bitten. guess it's just my turn to be tagged by an adult. can i borrow sir killsalot?
You sir, are a true animal lover.SnakeNbake said:Hi everyone, I'm new here and hope someone can offer some advice
An acquaintance of mine owned a beautiful charcoal corn snake for a long time but he wanted nothing to do with it. Apparently it was a gift. He never cleaned its tank or handled it at all. When it came time to feed it, he literally just opened the lid and threw in a dead mouse. When I found this out I got angry because that's abuse in my book. I badgered him until he finally gave in and just dropped the whole tank onto my doorstep and walked away.
So now I have this snake and I want to clean out his tank and give him a nice place to live (heating, water, clean shavings, cave, etc) but the second I open the lid, he tries to attack me. I understand why he's doing it but it really is scary to see a snake that big lunging at me the way he does. I don't even have to reach in...he'll come right on out to get me. It would be comical if he wasn't so big.
Handling him is my last concern. I just really need to clean his tank. There's actual mold and feces all over and he has no water. I can't believe he has lived this long in those conditions. It's heartbreaking to see.
Is my only option to let him bite me?

I take my hat off to you.
Oh, I can't wait for Dale's response to this one...that is, of course, if he still has the kahonies... :sidestep:SnakeNbake said:The only thing standing between me and my dream of being the greatest drag queen ever is my lack of a penis. Jazz can I have yours since you don't seem to be using it?
