Albino Nelson biting...

I went to a Reptile show yesterday and handled a hatchling Albino Nelson. It kept biting the crap out of me, so I didn't even make an offer. I mean it didn't hurt, but was unnerving. They are absolutely gorgeous, though. With frequent handling, will they NEVER bite again (esp when adults)? Or are they just ornery. None of the corns I handled even CONSIDERED biting...

Also, what's a fair price for one? The guy wanted $75, but most of the snakes at the show seemed discounted from online prices.

Thanks!!!!

Walt
