So as long as I:

a) Don't get constricted, and
b) Buy an industrial sized pooper scooper

I should be ok?

Do you guys think having a giant smart snake is better than having a big dumb one? I mean, on the one hand the smart one might be able to better discern that I'm NOT food, but on the other hand it might use that extra bit of smarts to plot against me...

Does anyone have any retics that are always nice? Is it more that they don't like to be messed with when you're cleaning?

Anybody's that like to be handled? Can most of you handle them frequently?
