Prickly Pear is a sweet lady
Meet Sudopal, an evolution for Bonsly in desert biomes discovered in Mexame
Y’all haven’t seen Prickly Pear in a while! He has always had a horrible disposition so I’ve been working with him very slowly and have been trying to get him to associate people with neutral to positive experiences, thankfully Pituophis are smart enough to make that possible. It seems to be starting to pay off! Yesterday I had him out to clean his cage and he only rattled a little and didn’t attempt to bite at all! BIG improvement, this is the first time I’ve handled him that he hasn’t made me bleed haha. Hopefully we can continue to make progress; I’d prefer him to at least be workable as a 6-7’ adult.
