Great Pic. I have a 4ft CB male, who would not let me handle him so freely. I've tried to work with him, but he seems to get more aggressive each time I handle him. Do you have any tips for calming this species down?

Thx,
Rob

I would say be patient. Mine never really were biters but they were highly spastic early on. They're still hyper but calm down after being out for a while. Keep handling him and he'll get used to it. Or he won't. The Blues I posted were as nasty as could be but now at 3 years old have mellowed. Most animals will accept the routine eventually.
