I got Raven about a year ago and she's never liked being handled. I've only been able to take her out of her tank two or three times without getting musked. That said, she's had a pretty checkered past and the friend I got her from says she's a lot more 'outgoing' since i've gotten her; she rarely hides anymore and is always out basking or watching me/my family. One of the cats is still unaware of her existence, the other one is always fascinated by her and spends a lot of time watching her and pawing at the tank. but even that doesn't bother her, she doesn't even hide when this happens.

My longer-term pet plans include getting another snake or two, and i'm planning to make more of an effort to 'tame' the next snake i get. more for their benefit than mine, after seeing the way just being transfered into a different tank for brumation bothered raven.
