I think a lot has to do with how much time is spent with the animal, and what your feeding habits are also. What I mean by feeding habits is that we often condition snakes into feeding responses even if we don't realize it. If you take your snake out regularly even when you don't intend to feed it it gets used to being handled frequently. If after mant months you kinda get bored with it and only open it's cage to clean or feed then he begins to associate the opening of his cage with food. I feed all my snakes in paper bags which eliminates the possibility of eating substrate but also conditions the animal to associate the bag with food and not my hand. Having said this, There are also gonna be differences between individuals. I have a small group of 09 Brooks right now and 80% are very calm and seem to enjoy being held. The others are nervous and rattle their tails and coil back. Though they haven't even tried to bite, they look like they might. A couple even go as far as to poop on me quite frequently. But even these nervous ones will calm down if you spend the time with them. So get a baby and bond with it. You won't be sorry, they are awesome! | ||
