little fear

Well it is possible to house snakes together without having major problems but it is never advisable. It is a lot easier if you keep them seperate.

it's also advisable that if you go to pick it up and get bit, pick it up any way. if it bites and gets it's way of not being picked up then it has won. Cody used to hiss at me every time I picked him up but I didnt stop and picked him up any way. now he just goes into a little ball at first and then he's cool about.

I've been bitten numerous times. I still don't like it but it isn't really any big deal. A little pain, a little blood, nothing to see here, move along.

Be confident and predictable in your movements so you don't seem so scary to the snake, being jumpy and hesitant will probably only put it more on edge.
