    Do you consider peeing on you, doing everything in it's power to bite you and try to cut off your circulation tame?

    This is the "friendly one". The female.
    Sorry but I would need to use a box of bandaids to even think of getting the male out for a picture. He is the side strike, open mouth, bite anything that moves type.

    Now I wasn't expecting these to actually be tame when I got them becuase I knew the history behind this pair.

    So how would you describe a blood as tame? Is it tame as in the sence of being tolerant to human interaction, or is it relative and you would describe it as being tame "for a blood"?

    Personally, I consider an animal tame when you can reach in, pick it up, and handle it without the constant restraint to avoid a bite.

    Just curious as to what the consensus is.

    ROTFLMAO, and 6 years old gotta another chuckle..
    Spooky has it correct too.. Snakes and reptiles are not tame..They tolerate us or they don't in some cases..
