persistence is key my friend... Just keept up the goodwork and it'll grow up to be a good friend! haha

[Johnny V]

yea im working on it, to be honest i almost considered giving him away because of his temperment, but today was just so rewarding being able to hold him like the rest of my snakes.

How long have you had the snake for? I know when I bought my albino burm she was very hissy and bitey for the first week. Turns out she was in a shed and I didnt know because her eyes werent cloudy. After she shed she became very friendly and tame with no problems being held.

[Johnny V]

i've had him since the sept white plains Reptile expo.

so yea he shed once since i got him, its a possible.

If you are worried about being bitten, just wear a glove until they calm down.
