Can't tame my snake

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah, mines got a very curious attitude. You put a new water bowl in his tank, he goes immediately goes to check it out. He is very curious of me but, but just dosnt like handling

That's how my babies are, if I'm doing anything, they have to know about it. Of course, some of them, like Ember, seem to enjoy having lots of interaction. Snakey also likes to check things out if my hand is in the tank, but doesn't like it if I touch him. If I keep my hand in the tank, I let him come to me before picking him up. He's more calm if you do that rather than grabbing him.

Ur troubles with Ur snake seam odd to me. I have two wild caught snakes and they both stoped musking a day or two after I caught them. They both love being handeled and eat like pigs, and I've only had them fro almost a month now

This thread is supporting my general immage og the genus: Variability!

Some snakes will enter their provider, like thinking:
I like you to be my heat source!
Other are acting like: Give me the food and leave!

Seemed odd to me when I first joined too. Fact is, there are a few snakes out there, WC or not, that just never tame down much at all. They do seem to be the exception, but it does happen.

Pueblan milk snakes, just for example, are known for being docile, tame, and easily handled. The one and only I ever had was wild and unruly as can be and really difficult to handle. A real PITA.

[RedSidedSPR]

All right let me get something straight... he has tamed pretty well, will come to my hand, eats out of my hand, and almost seems like he likes me. My question is: How do I tame him to handling?

[ConcinusMan]

It's been my experience that you don't. Good luck with that. If you must handle the unruly ones, do it when they are very cool.
