I believe people when they say they will tame down with handling since my nippy girl Abby has already started to handle well. I can go from hand to hand where in the beginning she would strike at everything. Maybe some day you will get the fever like I have, LOL--->
Actually, most jungles get to 7 1/2 to 8 ft. The Irian Jayas grow to about 5 1/2 to 6 ft. A little bigger than a ball python.
Most all Morelia babies can be nippy at a young age but will tame down and mellow out with some handling. I notice most all of my babies to settle down as they grow and put on size at about 10 - 14 months of age with minimal handling.
AAR produced some nice jungles this year and Andrew Hare has some of the best looking jungles on the market today!
Glad to have another Morelia enthusaist on board!!!
