Patience and persistence. I've worked, as many oters have here, for many many years and almost all campbelli behave similarly save for the exception (which is infrequent!)



In-between digested meals, make it a habit with consistency to handle the snake inside of a critter-keeper or small tank so it doesn't fall from your hands and sustain injury. Aside from enduring several bites and a seemingly endless supply of musk/fecal matter, over time you will be assured some success. I did tis with every campbelli I've raised and the little bit of consistent effort is worth it in the end if you want to have a manageable, non-spastic adult.



I work mainly with California and Baja-california mountain kings (L. zonata ssp), and I only have one that I failed to try and acclimate over time......she is absolutely obnoxious.......and this is wat I get each and every time I open her cage:













Invest a little time, it'll be worth it.
