I've only just been introduced to your channel and I am so amazed at all the videos I have been binging from you! I have never seen someone care so much about snakes and their choices and autonomy and its amazing how much care you have in paying attention to each snake's behavior and what they need. I have my own children's python I got from someone that was not fit to keep her and it really is enlightening talking about you mentioning how they struggle with impulse control, as I think that is exactly what my biggest struggle has been with her. While I have done a lot of work and have made tons of progress in having her no longer think I am food when handling her, I have only recently noticed that her startle response is very tied to her feeding response. A separate issue, but nonetheless one that has had me at a loss for a while. With her already being quite an established adult, I'm not sure its something I can fully correct, but this has given me hope that I can at least make this a lot better for her and myself! I'll definitely be checking out even more of your other videos 😊
Thank you and welcome to the channel! We constantly work on the food drive and impulse control with one of our two Children’s. We took him in as an adult around 8-10 years old already. The one we’ve worked with since a baby does fine.
I love the Ants! So underrated. Dwarf pythons that think they are retics. Inquisitive and confident. Will use all parts of the viv (and will explore further afield if given even half a chance 🤦🏻 ). Twice had to rethink setups to avoid them getting into trouble. But love that they provide challenges 😁
Lori, I really like your videos. Do you have any videos on how you actually construct your rolling activity centers. I just got a year old corn snake and while I won't need a rolling activity center or pet play pen just yet, I'd like to start constructing one for when I do end up needing it, and I'm not very DIY handy or very intuitive of stuff like that so a step-by-step example guide would be beneficial. Just thought I'd ask in case you have something like that.
@@thewordistruth399 if you search Lori Torrini Activity Stations several videos come up but this one shows how we out there wheels on: ua-cam.com/video/aJqm6R5xugc/v-deo.htmlsi=7C0DmIMhVuNvQIol
The most ethical and respectful way to introduce handling to your snake would be through passive and active habituation and choice based handling. It takes a lot of patience but it’s so rewarding :) my snakes are responding really well to it. Lori has many videos on these topics I encourage you to watch as many as you can!
Lori, I am learning so much from your videos. I was just adopted by a 3 month old CP. We are in week 1 and I am giving him time to acclimate before our first feed. When is a good time to start target-conditioning?
Amazing Lori ,,,, yes those Angolans are the puppy dog in the snake world ,,,,,Love ya works and teachings ,,, huggs '
Excellent video! Marcel’s enclosure looks really fun for him, so many options.
Children's Python are very inquisitive like that! Of all my snakes, this is probably one of the few that actively wants to interact whenever I pass by
Awesome video Lori your Snakes have both very good mental and physical health

Where do you get the screen covers for the light?
I ordered those from Reptile Basics. They’re made by Arcadia.
@@LoriTorrini awesome, thanks so much.
So funny I didn't see him right away either! Ezra is getting a beautiful upgrade.

Thinking about getting my first snake which is a children python so I’m wondering if I have to target train him to handle it?

I start pairing the target with the first feed. If they’re eating they can be training.

Hey Lori how did you make those signs on their enclosures? It looks great 😊
Those are from Cloud Forest Designs.
@@LoriTorrini thank you. Love the work you're doing on the channel!
