Kleos journal.

Well, obviously shes tame enough...

[guidofatherof5]

I don't think they are every truly tame. They just trust and except us.
Most of my snakes accept me and don't feel I'm a threat.
This allows me to handle them in ways that most people find amazing but it really just boils down to the fact they trust me.
I'm glad they do.

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah, they're probably never gonna actually LIKE you... they just want food

[Bart]

That's what I meant. Kleo is trusting me. Oh boy, I feel like a boss, because I heard that holding wild caught ribbons is impossible like that. How about your ribbon, Steve?

[RedSidedSPR]

Ribbons are a lot more skittish and nervous, jumpy etc than garters, but they can calm down. Glad she's calm for you know.

That's what I meant. Kleo is trusting me. Oh boy, I feel like a boss, because I heard that holding wild caught ribbons is impossible like that. How about your ribbon, Steve?

She's a work in progress. Need to take baby steps with her.
She's home and won't have to worry about being sent somewhere else.
She's my first ribbon and glad she's here.

[RedSidedSPR]

I hope to own a ribbon someday.... They're pretty cool.

[Bart]

Well, I was holding Kleo, but she saw my other hand, got frightened and jumped off to the floor. Hope she's allright, but I heard they are hard as nails. Yes, Steven, I'm quoting you. But she stayed at place she fell and I picked up her without any problems. Then I let her to sniff guppies' aquarium and put her in her cage. I think she likes me.

[RedSidedSPR]

Likes you, just not that one hand...

[Bart]

Before that, I was holding both my snakes, each in different hand, but couldn't do any photo with my teeth. In before, no, when she jumped off, I hadn't Amon im my hand (he was in his cage already).
