The first one we got in was only in for 2 days and was pretty mellow....got sold fast...

The one we have in now has been in for 2 weeks and I handle him 4-5 times a week....was a little bitey at first but now is extremely tame...biting wise that is lol....Hes a fast little guy but eventually settles down and wraps around my wrist.....

I heard the same thing as you but they are beautiful snakes and I definetly plan on owning some in the future....If it is bitey, just handle him and tame him out...hopefully he'll calm down....

Let us know if you decide to buy it and make sure to post some pics!!
