any animal can become tame... but not all animals in a species can be tamed...

Some are supposed to be a little more tractable than others. Biaks are famous for their snappiness, but Sarong types and Aru types are reported to be more tame than others. My new Sarong appears to be very tame.

i have heard that as well... however i have several Biaks and none of mine are snappy...
i know other that have some really snappy snakes that they have to use a snake hook on... it really just depends on the snake...
its not like anyone would buy a Chondro to cuddle with... These snakes are more of a fine art... better left in the cage...
well thats my opinion anyway...

hey guys. thanks for your replies. yeah i know they are more for looking at than handling. i just want to make sure my best friend doesn't get one that is more known for snapping since it would be her first. to me it just would be nicer not to have to use a snake hook for when she has to move it for a reason. anyways, thanks again. and that's a really nice one you got there. (i'm from miami so i see a lot of diff. animals down here)
