Out of my 8 Hondos only one is a complete spazz. I find that with Milks if you leave them alone for the first few months of thier lives and let them get some size on them they tend to mellow with out you having to work with them too much. I am sure it is not always the case but think of it this way. If you have a tiny 10 inch snake in your hand wriggling like crazy and its fast as hell you will not enjoy holding it much anyways, especially if it is biting and pooping on you. It is much easier to manage a larger snake, because you can give it more freedom and won't have to restrain it so much. Therefor in my opinion it can make the snake calm down faster with less effort on your behalf. That snake I posted is not bad at all to handle, 5 months ago was another story. Tom Stevens
