i have been looking around the forum for a while. there is such a vast amount of information to do with snakes in general it amazes me. quite the information overload.
I had the same problem as many new owners here. who got the snake took it home and then got nervous about picking it up. so i came here looked at everyones responses and just went for it. He still curls up in a ball in my hand for a good couple of minutes then he will start squirming about a bit more.

its a good place to be here by the looks and sounds of it, glad i found it
