i have a baby cali named paco. he's the freakin' bomb, i love him. i can't say he's nice, bc he isn't. you can't expect to have a baby king that wants to be handled. none do. but as they grow, they are so tame from my own experience. ive kept kings all my life... mine musks, but you learn to avoid it... just get it all out of him before you get him out of the cage. and odds are you'll take a bite or two from a baby but nothing painful. beautiful, fun, keep-you-on-your-toes herps...
