Hey everyone, I got my little guy probably around 4 months ago, and ever since I've had him he has always been a "scaredy cat". If he is out in his cage and not hiding somewhere and you walk by he will run far away, even worse when I try to scoop him out for feedings, sometimes he will run the length of the cage 5 times before I can grab him. Yesterday I was walking a pond and found a little garter about the same age as mine (Id say around 10 months to a year) and he was docile as can be and let me handle him and everything, I wish my little guy was like that.

Does anyone have any tips to tame my snake and make him less afarid of everything, i hate to say that it is really not enjoyable having him when he is afaird of everything and runs from anyone and wont let you even pick him up.

Thanks.
