    Re: bites!

    I have been bitten by both wild caught and captive bred....depends on each snakes own personality. I have found that wild caught wanderings in general are very mellow, rarely biting.

    The two boys I have from you are really mellow. My Blacknecks are nuts, my checkereds are skittish.. Its really great how different each type are. Thay all have there own traits.

    My CB eastern use to be very very tame. Since she started taking pinks she tries to bite me each time I go in the terrarium. Guess it could be the "energy level" maybe that the pinks give her?

    Has anyone else noticed a change in behavior related to food types feed or supplements given? Im going i bit OT i guess.

    When I go herping, I simpyl expect every garter I pick up to bite the crap out of me, if it doesn't, that is all fine and dandy, but if it does, it never surprises me!!!

    It's kind of like being attacked by a pin cushion. It has some potential to make you bleed a little bit, but it's funny at the same time.

    lol.... its funny because this is kind of my unhealthy view on MOST things.
    I expect the worst so that if it happens I am prepared, but if it doesnt I am pleasantly surprised.
    Lol in regard to other things in life it makes for quite a bit of stress though =/

    I also see a little difference in species. For example the cyrtopsis are really relax and have never tried to bite, unless of course when they had to receive some medicin. While the eques are really snapping already when you are just sitting before the glass of the enclosure and they are just right behind it.
