    He's actually CBB not WC or LTC, which would explain the mellowness in part. He's still a buzznoodle and not to be trusted.

    I had a CBB Western diamondback too, & she was one of my most consistently "squirrelly" (ie. ready to bite!) rattlesnakes, & never to be trusted, so there's a lot to be said for genetics.

    Some learn, adapt & retain more "calm" than others- each is always an individual- best to keep a healthy respect for them.

    Very wise...these things "grow on ya". But it's better to have pets you can hold.

    That's okay-there's nothing wrong with staying in your own "comfort zone". Some of the ones I ended up taking in came from people who never cleaned their cages either, so you have company on that score; I knew because they really stunk- until I gave them a bath, anyway. I had to figure out a safe way to do that- venom changes everything.

    He (or she) will be fed, cleaned, and cared for properly, but not free-handled.

    If you don’t mind me asking, how did you end up bathing the danger noodle.

    I think you hit on what scares me about Danger Noodles. You only have to let your guard down, or make a mistake, once. Many, many, other reptiles, you have some leeway, if not a lot of leeway, RE bites, etc.

    I am more careful feeding my Boas than my corn snakes, let's put it that way. Combination of "know your animal" and "that wouldn't hurt anyway."

    Same with the hook training. Boas and Carpet Python - every time, period. Corns and BP, eh. Read the snake (with BP), and don't worry (corns). It's not that I am afraid of Behira (BI), for example, but I understand instinct is huge with snakes, so I am consistent and careful, that's all. I respect them.

    Too often people get comfortable with things and let their guard down. OR, the old, "this one time it will be okay."

    Things where this one time will be okay theory can backfire greatly, in no particular order, and not complete.

    1. Hots and other dangerous reptiles or animals.

    2. Texting while driving

    3. "It's not loaded, I am pretty sure." Guns are always loaded and always need to be treated as such.

    4. "No need to point away from harms way, I am already pretty sure it's not loaded." See above.

    5. With COVID now; I don't need to wear a mask this time.

    6. I won't use a protection this one time, what could happen? "What, I am a father now?" or "You are pregnant with what?" or "Why does that hurt now?"

    7. Drinking and driving

    Enjoy your buzznoodle, but keep your guard up bcr229!
