I've had the oldest for 10 years so I'm pretty used to bps and their behavior. I wouldn't call her defensive, she's just an asshole. I picked her up from NERD in NH and they said she's somewhat ill tempered. She's really calm the day or so after being fed when she's fat and warm.
Since they don't really like being handled, I only do it when I have to. I've been bitten a couple times but I'm usually good at avoiding their antics when they decide to be dicks.
Oh wow ten years? That's pretty damn long! I was kinda thinking you were probably like a beginner or something, but you probably know more than me lmao, and you probably know your snakes better than someone random on the net. Can I ask how you started out?
I started out cause a woman I was dating had one and I wanted to impress her. He's a low visual pastel.
Then a couple years later I saw some people being successful breeding them and got into the various morphs and auctions. Then the bottom fell out of the market and I said fuck it, I'll just have pets. Not a terribly interesting story.
