How are their temperaments overall?

Thanks!! I'm thrilled everyone likes her because I wish more people were interested in olives... there certainly needs to be more of them around...

I think we were talking about it a little in some of the previous replies, but mine is really friendly. I've heard that they can be pretty snappy, but she is great...

but I do have to admit, about 18 months ago, I screwed up and the olive actually chased me down (from about 6 ft away) and got me by the hand, constricted my hand and arm, etc... I certainly couldn't have gotten her off me if I was alone... I've learned from that experience, and she hasn't even tried to get me since then... and just so you know, she was about 8 ft when that happened...

you just have to learn their body language. They move fast and have some nasty teeth, but the HUGE positive side of it is that they grow slowly, so you would have a lot of time raising a baby, which would mean lots of time to learn their behavior and get the snake used to being handled and used to you, etc...

overall, I think they are a WONDERFUL snake... come highly recommended from me... :sunny:

lmao, i could just see a big snake chasing after someone.. oh i have terrible humor.

awesome though, she's so beautiful its hard to believe no one is into them very much

you're saying they DON'T get as big as burms and retics??? Hmmm :hmm:


Think I'll start looking for a baby (maybe sub-adult) olive. :)

How could you NOT like a face like this?!?

I love that snake. I'm very jealous, and an olive is the first thing I'm going to buy when I upgrade from my condo. Beautiful snake.
