I just got a new Male youngster, 2ft /-. And he is very head shy, I have been handling him here and there, and he is getting a little better. He is one of those snakes that when you put him away, he wants to go, as opposed to wanting to be still handled. Im wondering if there is anything I can do to improve his attitude? I have been free handing him, not restraining his head, but he is very flighty, and im wondering if this is the way he will always be, or if it might improve? My other Boa, is totally the opposite, wants to be held, loves having its head petted, wont go back into the cage!

Any suggetions would be appreciated.
Chris
