A while back I posted a message about my kingsnake being really nasty and nipping me, well all's well now! I have since moved him inside and have been trying to handle him a little bit every few days for short periods. He has not musked or tried to strike at all. I moved him in and he adjusted quite well for several weeks. I bought a pair of heavy leather work gloves to handle him with and would not take those gloves off as I did not trust him. He seemed to like the gloves, as when I tried to touch him with a bare hand he would try to strike. I removed my gloves about 2 weeks ago and am now confident in handling him without them. I still use them to get him out of his enclosure and during feeding time, but I can now handle him with no fear. He has a rather pleasant disposition now
