gopher snakes as pets?

[alkibp]

Yup, they can be great pets. Like the other poster said, it's a crap shoot. Your odds for getting a docile snake is higher with corns though. I have an axanthic sonoran gopher that is the most docile lapdog snake i have in my modest collection. He's never hissed or rattled his tail even when i bother him when he's in shed.

That thing is a beaut!
