Thanks

You might be in for a ride with the jungle, but the centrilian shoudl mellow out real nicely.
My bredli is a pussy cat, and has been from day 1.
The jungles I've worked with were never to be trusted completely...

I'd just keep handling them on a regular basis, even when you know you're going to get tagged- much better now than when they're 4'+!
My olive python was a little satan for months after I got him, and the problem with him was that he was pushing 3' or so when I got him (they're HUGE as babies compared to the carpets), and he'd be as mellow as can be in your hands when he'd just snap and bite everything in site, including the hands that were holding him!
Just when I thought we were all beyond all that, and he was safe for my little kids to handle, we'd start over.
He is pushing 6' now, and is as gentle a snake you could ask for, once out and about as long as you don't startle him.
