Well, one big step is going to be finding out the times it bites. Meaning does it only bite you when you're trying to pick it up, and then calms down once it's being handled? Or does it just continually bite you without being provoked. That's gonna be a big factor in weither or not the snake even can be tamed down. If it's just a matter of it getting nervous and striking at your oncoming hand you should be fine in the end.



As for bedding, I use aspen but it makes it a little hard to keep the humidity up. The ease of cleaning makes it worth the extra effort with the humidity. Believe me, try to clean up a good sized crap on cypruss mulch a couple times and you'll appreciate the aspen a lot more.
