I love how people compare animals to humans. Of course you would never get rid of your human child..Anyone who bring that reference up IS being a jerk. Now to the OP, sometimes there seems to be no logical reason for that type of behavior, maybe they will calm down, maybe they won't. Just do the best you can, and if things don't work out, and you decide to pass the snake along to someone else, at least you can't say you didn't try
