Some photos of the past couple weeks.

I've been holding her weekly and trying to tame her and she just won't cooperate. Sometimes she's down right nasty. She'll act all nice and then lash out at my face. So I found a local guy that has been looking for an adult for a year and she's going to him... :cry: I know I'm wishy-washy.

Honestly. . . .

She is such a beautiful girl, I do not think I would be able to let her go. I understand, though, that it is never pleasant to have an aggressive snake, especially one that size! :sidestep:

How long have you been working with her??? And how old is she???

TOO beautiful to want to give up!! Ever since you posted pictures of her I have been looking into getting one. I bit much for me to take on right now though!! :cry:
 
I've had her out about a half dozen times. Every time she's worse. Used to be calm at first, then get a little defensive. Now she's going for my juggular right out of the box. I want to take her out, but sometimes its a pain. I keep hoping she'll turn a corner and realize I'm not going to eat her.
 
I'd keep at it. How long have you had her? I remember the post when you got her, and it doesn't seem like it's been that long (but it might have been :shrugs: .) I think you should work with her for a while longer. Aggressive snakes are a pain, but it seems that you would regret it if you let her go. Just my $.02
 
How long have you had the snake for? I feel it might be worth it to try with her just a bit longer... snakes are individiuals (in my opinion) and some animals take longer to settle down than others.

Whether you keep her or not, she's beautiful and I wish you luck with your decision.
