Mine is cage defensive to a degree but is tolerant to my fussing around when spot cleaning his tank. He'll warn me before he strikes and I can usually pick him up without a problem.
The biggest problem I run into is when he's out and that is because he's so damned big. He can easily reach out to basement rafters, lighting fixtures, etc...he'll climb into everything before I know it.
It can be a pain. Blues love to climb.
The under side of my snake room ceiling is all of that so sometimes I just let him have his way and he is all over the rooms ceiling having a blast.
Getting him untangled and back in his tank can get a little involved though.
Mike.
