I have to say I am far from the most knowledgable person on Drymarchon who frequents this forum, but being a bit excited about just purchasing a blacktail...I figured I would comment.



I have had the pleasure of looking after a large eastern indigo collection for a short time and I must say they can be a bit to work with in the cage. I found hooks can greatly decrease the stress and assertiveness of them going for your hands. It also decreases your stitches if you get nailed by these incredibly strong animals.



I have also heard larger enclosures can reduce how assertive they can be when in the enclosure.



It does seem to be the standard they calm down dramatically when outside the cage as well.



I just wish I was in your shoes because I love the attitude these snakes can show and my recent purchase is quite timid. I hope she developes a sense of territory over time.



Good luck.
