Snakes understandably get freaked out when re-homed...it's very stressful, they have no idea how & why their whole world just changed, & then if you throw
in handling... Keep in mind that in the wild, the only thing that picks up a snake is a predator planning to have dinner...and make no mistake, our snakes are
wild animals, even when captive-bred, they depend on their instincts for survival, and humans aren't part of their "program".They do learn though to feel
safe with us, it just takes some snakes longer than others (& rarely, some are never convinced).
