Taming Bloods

Are Sumatrans always aggresive or can you tame them down handling.

Blood pythons typically tame down well with routine, gentle handling. If you're worried about being bitten, WEAR GLOVES!!! If you are bitten, don't immediately put the snake away - try to end every handling session on a positive note, preferably with the snake sitting calmly or just cruising around in a relaxed manner.

Also, try to understand the snake's perspective! When you're just a little thing, you think everything out there is trying to eat you!
