Hey there. I caught a normal gopher snake in Long Beach yesterday. I have not handled one since I was a kid (many years ago - I'm 41 now).

He was quite mellow and frankly I was surprised. The few I caught as a kid were mean and nasty.

What is the normal attitude of a wild and then captive gopher snakes.

I breed large boids and have been for over 20 years. Although the large ones give me a good adrenaline rush, catching a wild snake (even a harmless gopher) is always pretty exciting for me.
