By a Sinoloan Milk Snake.

I posted a separate thread less than a week ago, wondering if I should consider getting a Sinoloan in the future. Here I was, thinking it would be a complete hassle just to find one...

... And there's one in a pet store right up the hill, just in today.

But my, is he/she ever feisty! The staff are nice enough to allow you to handle any animal in the store, so after getting profusely urinated and defecated on by this hatchling, I get tagged on my left middle finger.

I didn't feel a darn thing! This poor little thing must have been so frustrated that it couldn't scare me off with a little nip. But, my main question is, when it comes to king/milk snakes, is it 'once a biter, always a biter'? Do they calm with age? (Oh, and I'm having a problem with the price: $149.99? But I suppose that's pet store prices... Bah!)

Not that I'm worried about its measly little love-taps.
