I now have three species of rhamphiophis - rufous, red-heads and acutus (in their third month of QT). All three species will come into your hand to be held. Very personable and intelligent animals.
They are TV watching snakes. You can literally hold one and sit on the couch for long periods of time - and they seem to almost enjoy it. They do this cool periscope things where they check out their surroundings with these little bird-like head bobbing movements.
