They did not breed him, but was trade I think. We have purchased snakes from them before so I wouldn't think it was just a story. It seems that the more we try with him the worse he gets. We let him rest for a few days before handling him so I know it isn't from handling him too soon. He will be just really calm then all of a sudden snap. He has issues! I am wondering if this particular species has more sensitive skin because they are from rain forests where it is damp all of the time and when they aren't wet, their skin gets "sore" maybe, I don't know....just an idea.
