Handling??

[VEXER19]

Colubrids are nippy at first. If you just got it then you can let it get used to its habitat for like 2 weeks and try handling again. But most likely it will still nip you. Colubrids tend to be really fast and nippy while young but should grow out of it. They also require a lot of attention so just take it out and keep it moving for a while until it gets its energy out and then try to calmly handle it so its not bouncing off the walls. Good luck.

Colubrids comprise a gigantic group of species - roughly 66% of all snake species are colubrids. It is the taxonomic dumping ground of many animals that haven't been properly classified yet. Some may well end up in other families - like elapidae.

Therefore you can't make a general statement regarding colubrid behavior. Some species stay very bitey throughout their lives - regardless of how much you handle them.
