    JCP generalization
    Shelby,

    I know there's no hard and fast rule to the following question but I have to ask:

    Are JCP's mean?

    Every time I see one I think "wow, great snake, cool colors" and somewhere in my mind the words "Face eating demon spawn killer beast" come flying forward.

    I'm sure it comes from the *first* day I looked at snakes seriously I watched a juvi strike at everything that moved. After a year of BP ownership I'm now equating that with "hey, maybe it'll be a good eater".

    Plus.. I already have my Hogg Island (and a Hognose, no relation :) )

    Well, mine is an angel, but a portion of young JCP are very defensive (what you could call 'mean') this is true of most boid species. As they grow older and if they are handled gently and consistently most will become quite docile.

    Hows the little thing doing? I love the looks but I want to stick with balls. Can't wait till I see one of Adams.

    i've always heard carpets loathe the switch from mice to rats, but mine take down the rat pups like they're goin' out of style!

    Yeah I was worried she wouldn't want the rat too.. but she grabbed it so fast I barely had my hand out of harm's way!
