    Re: Can't tame my snake

    I have some concinnus that flip out and musk me every time I try to pick them up. Others literally crawl into my hand very calmly and don't fuss at all about being handled.

    Re: Can't tame my snake

    I only have experience with Easterns, and the may tend to be at more mild mannered than others, but I can almost always get a wild caught snake to sit quietly for me, at least for a little while. When I pick one up they can be really squirmy, so I carefully work them into my hand and cup the entire snake between my hands, one over the other, so it is in a nice dark warm place, and just wait. The snake will usually settle down and stop struggling and just sit there. Slowly take your top hand off and most of the time they will just sit there, for a while at least. Below is a wild one, took about a minute to settle down. Just sat there till I but her back on the ground. Good luck.
