I actually am losing my touch with reality. As again, I think to hold to tame or not to hold to tame is academic, aside from, theory, from keeping snakes.
First, Cal kings in particular, do not need taming. They are friendly calm snakes, which is why I loved them so much. They are curious and just have to see what your doing, and if hiding will come out when they sense you.
Neonates do the coil and strike defensive behavior, and its not about tame or needing to be tame. They are new to the world and have some instincts. One is what out for huge giant living things that are hungry.
So, you are above them, eye balling them, grabbing them and a million times larger. I don't blame them for being scared. Frightened or scared is the key here.
How should you treat a new snake, IT depends on the snake, is it sick or healthy, that is the first most important question. If its healthy, then do not treat it like its sick. Treat it normally. Pt 1
