I just posted some pics of my new baby leu. tx a couple posts up. They do have a bad reputation but they are really only nippy when they're young i read. Mine is but their bark is worse than their bite when their little. Mine gets really pissed she scrunches up for a strike, shakes her tail and stares you down for awhile. But as they grow up they calm down as long as they are handled daily. I believe personally that this species has a bad rep. The most "vicious" ones are proabably wild not captive born. Like i said as long as they are treated properly they should be alright. But ask anyone who owns a snake around here and they'll tell you, you always get bit at least once, no matter how docile.
