yeah i understand that i just dont know if i have the ability to care for one the way it needs to be taken care of,... and the snakes i have love my son and hate being in thier tanks so i think it kinda depends on how they were raised cuz i have an albino kingsnake that if a man puts his hand in her tank she'll bite him but if its me or another woman she's an angel,... she's also very food oriented the guy who had her before me never held her and admitted to rarely feeding her
