I am a novice keeper and I had the most wonderful Honduran. I handled her quite a bit in the reptile shop before I bought her and she was great. She was very squirmy every time I initially would pick her up (which was good practice for me) but would always settle down almost instantly. She would settle so well being held sometimes it was hard to get her off to go back in the tank

She never once tried to bite/strike at me. I named her Oblina after the Nickelodeon show Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Sadly she escaped about 5 months ago and I haven't been able to find her. I would love to get another one but still hope I'll find her instead-she was that great of a snake.
