I bought a beautiful hypo honduran at the pomona show and he is a new born about a month old. The problem is that he is so freaked out by humans, everytime I try to get him he goes nuts and flys around the cage at a million miles an hour and when I finally get him he poops and pee`s on my hands and it is very hard to hold him and it`s getting a little old now. I want him as a pet not a breeder even though he would make a killer breeder, but I want him tame like my pyro.
I have had snakes before so I know I`m handling him right I just want to know if he will tame down or is he one of those that will stay that way. Should I continue to try to hold him or leave him alone? I don`t want an agressive snake as a pet.
thanks guys

Hondurans tend to be that way when they are babies, but do improve significantly the more you handle them. I would hold mine cupped in my hands so they didn't feel all exposed. If you want to hold a super flighty baby, go for a Pueblan, as they will make your Honduran seem slow.
