In 'his' 30 + years in dealing with snakes, he is saying that this particular breed has always had this tempermant. He said it was wild caught. The 30 years is how long 'he' has been dealing with snakes.

Snakes are wild animals...why should it surprize anyone that some specimen are not socialized in away that appeals to humans. It may take a while to get them to a tempermant that makes them an appropriate pet. Who knows, but this is what I was told by a man well versed in the petrade that has his own specimen.
