Sorry guys but just so you know it's Hog, Hogg usually is used when it's been crossed with another local. I just got my girl a few days ago, so I've only handled twice. Once from the shipping box and once to change her paper. She was a little defensive, meaning she didn't strike but she was in strike position. I jsut scooped her quick and she was fine after that. I think like with most snakes they can each have their own personality. With regular handling though, you should have no problems. They really are gorgeous animals. Good luck.![]()
