I might've gotten one of those giants, but when I learned of their not to be handled status, I just let it be. I can go a long time without handling my snakes, but having one that shouldn't be handled, or needs caution to handle, is not top on my list. Just like I have always wanted to have a copperhead... or an eyelash viper... or...
I've never heard that before. They don't stress that easily and they have no problem with handling.

Where did you read that?
