Get a jungle. All baby spilota can be nippy, likewise 99% of them grow out of it. If you apply any amount of handling to an aggressive one, they will calm down very quickly.

I teach educational programs with Jungles all the time. You can reach into any of my adult cages at any hour of the day and pick up a jungle no probs (well, I do have one girl that may nail you, but that is quite the exception in a colony of more than 25 adults carpets).

Look at it this way, in a year you could have a gorgeous yellow and black serpent, or one that is the color of dirt.


Your choice. Good luck!
