Mine are only a little over a year old and only about 3 feet long. The person I bought them from uses his adults in educational shows where they get handled by hundred of people. They are amongst the calmest and most peaceful snakes I've known. He tells me that the babies are biters no matter how much they're handled but will calm down once they near adult size. I figure I'm at least a year away from that maybe longer.
