Jack the Russian Rat Snake/elaphe schrenckii (progression)

I totally agree with you on this: we can generalize about a species, but individuals still have their own quirks & personalities, so it's very unfair to expect exactly the
same "sociability" from each one. Some just take more patience & may "get there" eventually, but re-homing is usually a set-back.

What do you mean by set-back? He went to a breeder who loves his temperament, and I love the temperaments of my current snakes.

I just meant that if he was still shy, a new home is scary, & typically doesn't enhance a snake's courage. Nothing against the person he went to, & all the better if that
breeder is happy with his temperament.

A snake acclimates to new homes within a few days to a week, provided they are given proper husbandry and temps... They aren't dogs who bond with their previous home.

No kidding. That's not what I said either.
