Thanks for the advice, so is it safe to say that with proper feeding and regular handling it will calm down.
I wouldn't like to have an 18ft grumpy serpent later on
But just wondering, what does it actually mean by maintenance feeding a retic or burm?
Is there a way to "maintenance feed" which doesn't end up in a snappy python?
I currently feed a medium rat to my 2+ft long burms on a weekly basis and they are super nice and cute
Does that count as "maintenance feeding"?

Thanks again!
