I also do not follow a set pattern, particularly this stuff about waiting. Not after receiving one in shipment. Or after a regurig. Again, Its our task to judge the snake, is it healthy or not. If you receive a sick snake, then its good to know its sick right off the bat. Not wait a week, then another, just to find out it has Flagellates. If a snake attempts to feed, its telling you something, if it cannot keep food down, its telling you more.
Back to taming, as mentioned, most wild caught kings do not bite, they are far more prone to musk you. The ones that do bite and musk, generally stop biting and musking as soon as they realize it did not work. That is, within minutes.
Neonates do that coil and strike thing, which is not biting. Go ahead and put you finger by it, Mouth closed and not striking at your finger, Just popping all over. This behavior goes away in a few days even if you do not hold or touch it. In most cases, a fearful cal king musks you. That is their defense, and head hiding(to a point).
So I ask you Aaron, what makes you think you should not handle them properly for six months?
