Bob..

They are a curious and very docile species for the most part. My first male has bitten a friend the day I got it. It crawled up her pants leg and when we tried to pull it out, it latched on.. can't blame him though, she has nice legs.



Other then that, none of mine have bitten. I have a new male right now that is about 6 weeks old and is pretty fiesty. He hisses and opens his mouth, flares his neck and will occassionally strike (missing you by 2-3 feet usually) but it is all show. You can still reach over and grab him without worry (at that size it wouldn't hurt anyway). He is starting to settle down now as well.



I honestly trust them as much as any of my morelia or epicrates.. Like any species though, there are occassionally animals that are aggressive. I also know of a few people that have womas that aren't able to be free handled without caution, but those animals are not ever handled (and weren't while young either).



All in all, it is a great species to work with. They are very interesting animals. They are also extremely hardy snakes that do well in captivity.



I have some care information and some sites on the web that are good resources, if you or Frank would be interested. Email me as I don't think I can post links to other forums here (and I don't have permission to post the caresheets).









>>So what about temperment? Any bites as of lately? How often are you feeding them for them to be full grown in two years? Sorry for all the ?'s
