Personally HOTs aren't for me...but I was just curious to hear from those of you that do keep them...are they as mean as they appear? Most of the images you see they appear ready to strike.

I have no issue sticking my hand in any of my python cages and pulling out a snake (with minimal worry they will strike just to strike)...despite the potential consequence with HOTs just thinking of them as a normal snake do they tame down to that level or are they always jumpy and ready to strike?

Just curious.
