I've owned three, one a wild caught normal and the other two were a pair of albino's. The wild caught was a monster. He bit as often as he possibly could and always puffed up the throat, which really is pretty cool. He got around 6' long, was beautiful and a good feeder on frozen thawed, and still to this day was the meanest snake I've ever owned. The albino pair were incredibly hyper as hatchlings, I had to endure a full year of being crapped on every time they were handled. The rewards were worth it because they did calm down and were amongst my favorites. This pair never were biters and eventually the vertical puffed up throat displays were seldom seen (kind of unfortunate). I still regret selling them but I had to move and was forced to get rid of alot of awesome animals. They bred all year round! You need to keep these guys warm and clean. They seemed to metabolize food very quickly and defecate alot. Another note, make sure the humidity is way up around shedding time. I had to deal with several poor sheds. Don.
