Caution: I eat faces
Acquired this 6ft JCP in February from a private owner who had it for 2 yrs but didn`t want to take care of it any more as it was supposedly too agressive for them.
The owner wouldn`t handle/spot clean/replenish water unless the big boy was in its hide.. Considering he spends 95% of his time on his perches, the poor guy never got the care that a snake of this caliber diserves. I was able to handle him the second night i got him.
He was bluffing the whole time the previous owner had him. He only hisses ALOT and nose bumps once in a while. Never attempted to strike at me. Seems like the previous owners never really tried to improve its temperment or they just didnt really cared about it.
Glad I took him with me! He seems much happier now!
Cheers!
