Default progress at last

since i aquired my jcp ive been bitten and constricted more times than i can remember. just been up to my rep room to do the water bowls and everytime i tried to do his he turned after my hand. in the end i gave up trying to avoid him and picked him up. he didnt even try to constrict or bite me he wasnt very relaxed either but considering that this time last week i took over 16 bites from trying to hold him i feel im finally getting somewhere ,im really pleased yippee

congrats! I love that feeling, one of my young boas would hiss constantly from the second I walked in the room and repeatedly strike at the side of the tub whenever I came close.... now I can pick her up and hold her for short periods of time without a single hiss or strike she doesnt like it but at least shes getting better!
hope he keeps up the good work!
