Hi, i visited a local pet store and fell in love with the hognose snake. So i bought a couple online and they don't seem to be as tame and handleable as the one at the store. Can anyone recommend ways for me to keep the snakes calm so i can handle them, i think i scare them a little much somehow. Right now they are eating, and living at knee level on a snake rack. Should i worry about a bite? Should i wear gloves until they become tame? They are western hognose cb female hatchlings if that helps. Thanks.
Jeff
