I love 'em! It seemed like such a weird thing when I first handled the one I have now. I kept expecting him to ball up like a BP, since that's all I ever kept in the "large snake" department. But instead of being terror-stricken at me, he slithered all around my hands and ended up stuck in my hair. Then he remained calm while I dislodged him. Whenever we handle him, he never wants to return to his cage. And he will eat anytime he's fed.
