Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am the proud owner of a male retic whom is the tamest animal I have ever deal with. I handled him for 1 hour nightly for a year and now is absolute pride and joy. Well I decided to get another snake but a much smaller lady for my upstairs. I purchased a female Malasian Blood and have read the horror stories about these snakes. If I handle this girl like my retic will i have a nice docile snakeZ

Welcome to the blood bath!

I've only got three - all are roughly a year old, two are CBB and one probably CH. All are just fine to handle - having never offered to bite, hiss or spew sewage.

I would imagine that your little girl will settle down with time as well. Good luck with her!

I agree with Bruce, I also have a retic and cb or cbb 1.1 adult bloods and cbb 10.6 babies, all the babies are a little nippy but my adults are just fine and can easly handle them, I just pull em out with hooks since it's a habbit i do with all my snakes and neather of my adults have ever tried to bite me as long as there's no rodents in the air

Thanks
