hey mate we have heard that darwins tend to be aggressive but we have a male and female and they are the most placid snakes in our collection. our three year old loves our bigger female and handles her with no probs and she isnt the most gentle child. weve found that ours love to come out of their enclosures so much thet they thrash about when trying to put them back in. so we have to coil them up put them in and quickly close the door before they pop their heads out sometimes takes two or three attempts. they are easy to care for a fat rat or small rabbit once a week temp at 30 a branch for climbing fresh water a hide they are happy
