haha wow to that childrens python, my atherton jungle is perfect to handle and i let anyone have a hold as she is really very placid, i know that athertons can sometimes be aggressive so i have tested my little girl just to see what my boundries are before she gets to 8 ft long and cranky, so far she has bitten me once and that was my own stupid fault for cleanin a frozen mouse before hand feeding her "why are you lookin at my hand like that?" and one time she yawned and slipped off her perch and dug her top jaw into my thumb - but swiftly removed it when she decided i didnt taste so great,

in saying that though she will get very angry at the cologne "ralph lauren - polo sport for men" and also she gets agetated if someone timmid tries to pic her up so for this reason i always remove her from her enclosure. i think its all really pre loaded though, as i have a friend who had a beautiful golden jungle delivered from NT as a hatchling and it will strike at the side of the tank as you walk passed and when you pick it up it will bite your hand all day everyday, so its purely a look but dont touch addition.

oh and as a rule, never restrict a snake from moving, just coax it round to where you want it to venture. but im sure thats pretty obviouse.
