Hehe, nah, you don't want to do that, my answer to nasty snakes isn't generally patience and understanding, it's to avoid letting it anywhere near my collection, and if for some reason it was there, it would get ignored! I love my water pythons, they're tame and didn't need all the pampering etc. I've been through the taming snakes down thing with others (including bredli! eww!), but really don't care and can't be bothered these days if it's going to be any more than handling once or twice a month for one or two minutes and not even my water pythons get handled that much, as much as I'd love to have the time to play with them more. It's so much easier to choose nice snakes than to go the hard yards with nasty ones and as I plan to breed my animals, I find it extremely important to choose nice ones, as these traits are heritable.
