On of my personal pet peeves too Daniel. I figure the day that I assume that any one of our snakes is "tame" is the day somebody's gonna bite me right on the end of my nose LOL. I actually don't want them "tame". Not that I want a bunch of spazzed out, stressed snakes but I love knowing that they retain so much of their instinctive behaviours and I'm honored that they allow me into their world. :)

Right on! I also want that snake with what I'll call a "spicy" attitude, it makes for a great feeding response! I want them to try and take my face off on feeding day! The only allowence I want from my snakes are that they become somewhat handleable and tolerant of me cleaning the tubs on non-feeding days.;)
