>>#1) Out of all of the giant snakes you have owned, WHICH one type has been the most consistantly gentle and responsive?

I own a number of retics, and have cared for a number of Burmese. The retics have actually been a bit more easy-going in my experience, but far more active and alert-I think many confuse these two attributes as being "aggressive" or "not tame".

>>#2) Are Tigers/Supertigers from established well known bloodlines really that much more tame and calm than , say Yellowhead that are c/b or silvers that are c/b or albino lavenders that are captive bred, or Jampeas?

No. I think people really want this to be the case, but I don't think there is any truth to the statement that tigers and supers are the most tame. Sure, 10 years ago they were the tamest because they were the FIRST CB retics. It makes sense that in a sea of WC retics that the CB tigers and supers would be the most tame. I think the early keepers recognized this, and immediately incorrectly linked that "tameness" to the morph...

I have tigers, supers, normals, albinos, and others-all are equally tame and a joy to interact with.
