Like Nazza I don't handle my Gonyosoma spp. Other than when I first started snake keeping that has never really been something that was important to me - even for species like cornsnakes.



Gonyosoma can be terrors, that for sure, and I suspect it's more than them just being wild caught.



I have one male that was captive hatched from a field-inseminated female. He's very aggressive.



I also have four Gonyosoma janseni that are true captive bred and born specimens. They were handled by the previous owner and had calmed down a bit. But now that I've had them for several months they've reverted back to being as aggressive as any other Gonyosoma I keep. That might have something to do with my current setups, I don't know.



I guess I'm really not the best person to ask.
