My prior forum link, from the original from last May, may offer some insight & hope:

I had posted a similar concern about Florida Kingsnakes last year, but since then have new information that is good news.

Like persons, snakes can change in personality. It is also quite common for them to display a more calm, predictable behavior as they mature.

I have found that the more naturalistic my setup, with branches and climbing opportunities, the healthier & happier my snakes seem to be - and they are definitely more active.

*** I agree with your comment that Florida Kings may be the most tractable getula species of all. ***

Best wishes!
