Fair point ;-)

... Incase she bites I assume.. Annie can have quite the nasty bite, they probably have great jaw power just like retics??

Jaw power and raw power. Where a boa or python will bite a through a couple coils around something Anacondas will wrap their whole body around it.

Thanks for the kind words folks. Yea the i colours that bounce off her in the right light is awesome. I am wearing the gloves for pure hygiene purposes as i was cleaning her tank out as she made quite a bit of mess when shedding. I dont use gloves when handling even the feisty ones dont feel comfortable wearing them would rather take the bite.

that is what i thought. but also curious because i wear gloves wit my BRB... shes gotten pretty pissy latley, well over the last year... and i also heard that the rubber the gloves are made from have a really bad taste, and the snakes generally learn not to bite because of them, no clue if it true, but thats what i head.

Thanks man shes around 3 ft at the min, got her over onto decent size rats easy enough so shes gets one every 2 weeks as it takes a good 5 days for the bump to disappear. And yea man i only wear the latex gloves when cleaning not for handling. I cant stand gloves when handling snakes- soo hard to judge grip and you cant feel what the snake is doing. Plus i tried gloves with a monster ATB i had, she bit the glove and got teeth caught in the fibres. Wasnt fun tryin to unhook her so just not worth it at all and safer for the snake.
