My only black pine, Ms. Peavy is as sweet as they come. The most gentle and kind snake I own, and I am truly blessed to own her. She is Mobile, AL locality, and was purchased from John Meltzer:

I love the soft contrast of the reddish/brown colors on her chin/face.

You're lucky in my book, or maybe I'm just unlucky. Just gifted away an absolutely gorgeous 2 year old female that was just the opposite, whippiest snake I've ever had. I prefer calm, tractable animals, or even mean tractable animals ...but whippy sucks.

See all my snakes at SerpenTrack.com

Thanks man!!!

I did find out that the parents of my black pine were as tame as she is.

A buddy of mine has an adult male that is also puppy-dog tame when he is handled.

Some are tame, some aren't. My most active snake, who is tame overall but whippy when handled is my Applegate San Diego gopher.

Good looking Pine. I have two yearlings, one is very calm the other is full of piss and vinegar.

Thanks!!!!

gotta love an all black snake!!

i have a pair that are tame....sometimes! the female can be moody when she is hungry but when well fed, she is easy to handle.

That's funny!
