"Baby Hondurans are legendary for thrashing around and biting, but simply by leaving them alone (rather than trying to "break them in" ) results in a calm snake once they approach a year or so in age"



That is precisely how I deal with them too. I rarely handle any youngsters either except for basic maintenance, etc..



I simply allow them to be what they naturally are, very secretive, shy animals. Most become very manageable as the mature and get some size on them.



It almost always seems that one day(almost like magic) you notice that they are no longer the flighty, nervous animals they once were.
