Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

We suggested that, given the expense of shipping, it might be better for him to familiarize himself with body language a bit more, since it sounds like the snake is just startled and defensive.

How is he getting the snake out of the hide? if he's stickin his fingers in the hide and dragging the snake out that is probably making the snake think something is trying to eat him. I always flip the hide to the side and get the snake out that way. I have yet to receive any aggressive behaviour, unless I have food of course

Ive never met a "mean snake"
Quite a few over the years have been pretty "defensive",snakes dont have the capacity to be "mean or aggressive".
Customer needs to "glove up" and deal with it IMO

Another thought if this hasn't been resolved yet - would it be possible to find someone experienced with BP's who lives close to this buyer, who could potentially investigate in person what exactly is going on? I just thought of it based on a horse my trainer sold a few years back, it was sweet as pie for her but it started bucking for the new owner after a few weeks. The problem was a poorly-fitting saddle, not the horse, but that was only discovered after the trainer had someone go investigate for her. The horse had been shipped a long ways away so it wasn't convenient for the trainer to visit in person.
