Do they handle like corns or what? Hissy? Do they strike much?

If they are not in "feeding mode" they tend to be hissy and defensive at first, usually accompanied by false striking. Once in hand they are pretty much butter.
If they are in feeding mode, there is no digit safe near them. They basically move around rapidly with their mouth wide open; anything they get a hold of they try to swallow, be it themselves, a shirt, or your finger.

Starting a few weeks ago my baby female, who is normally extremely docile, goes crazy with hooding and puffing/hissing when I feed her. My male is a little spitfire who likes to put on a show pretty much whenever. Both are totally tame once in hand. The adult female is way more chill than the babies though, except at feeding time.

Yeah, my breeder girls are all pretty relaxed.

Mine (from TJ) is completely calm. It's only recently that he gets a little excited at feeding time. But so long as the pleasant aroma of dead rodent isn't wafting through his tub, he's an angel

Great looking animals, TJ! Hoggies aren't for me as they are too small for my liking. Regardless, they are beautiful and I love seeing pictures of gorgous snakes.
