i completely disagree with this statement. i own snakes ranging from 18" up to 18'. retics, bloods, anacondas, boas, milks, corns, kings, hognose, green trees, amazon tree boas, jcps, ball pythons, cobras, vipers, rattlers, ect.... the list goes for days. I have been able to tame anacondas through care and dedication. Most people might have a harder time. But what really got me was you saying bloods and retics. All the pythons i own are hand tame (and im not talking about 4 or 5. Im talking close to 100 pythons.). They nip for about a month and thats it. its not that its not normal, its just inexperienced people buy them.
