I had seen that stated on a craigslist ad - the owner said these snakes aren't to be handled. I think I copied the scientific name that the post listed, and did a www engine search. One or two of the results turned up blogs or care sheets that said to not handle them. I can't find them now, I didn't bookmark them.

And the first site I visit this time around, says the opposite of what I read:
http://www.centralpets.com/animals/r...s/snk6081.html

Go figure!
