It has nothing to do with the animal and almost everything to do with how you handle, treat and care for it.

Doesn't matter what snake you get, tame is not a reality. You can have the calmest snake in the world bite when least expecting. On the flip side, all the snakes my friends call devils and can't handle without gloves, I pick up with bare hands and do not get bitten.

This is not an attempt to make me look like some expert snake rangler.

THIS IS an attempt to have you and others understand, this is NOT a dog, and will NOT come tame, or become tame because you handle him a few times.

When new/first time customers are mislead this way, they usually call back after the first time the snake even LOOKS at them the wrong way demanding a refund because he is 'not tame'.

Your first experience with these beautiful creatures can be horrible due to your misguidance.

I suggest you go out and read some books or websites.

At the very least, look back at the other pages in this forum... your question and questions like it are answered several times a day.


Wish you the best...
Take care, Joe
