Well Mina it comes to this then. If you are taking on a snake from a less than ideal background you are going to have to expect some issues with it. Any snake can stress out from a rehoming situation but if it's not in great shape to begin with or had poor handling then you will likely face some problems with it. Doesn't mean you shouldn't get it, just means that you need to be realistic that it may not be an easy snake to deal with at first. It may take a lot of time and patience to turn the snake around, or it may settle in very nicely. You really won't know until you have it. Then just work the problems, deal with the most important stuff first (health, housing, husbandry, feeding, etc.) and the handling will come along in it's own good time.
