These snakes become SOO placid and acclimated that we've got to call them pets..Although snakes are not domesticated these guys just roll with the flow..We can tub them, we can put'em on the couch and play with'em during the commerials,we've taken them to herp meetings and passed them around to attendees..Take'em out in the neighborhood and all bike riding stops and they flock around..They are the BOMB..IMO
