[QUOTE="kormath, post: 78643, member: 4199"] THey say they're the most docile snake there is. and they love coiling around your wrist for the warmth from your skin. I got to hold one this past weekend from the friend of mine that found 2 of them. 1 adult one sub adult. Problem is they're super picky eaters in captivity. They spend most of their lives in burrows of mice and other rodents so getting them to eat in an enclosure is a challenge. However once they figure out where the food is coming from they can be very aggressive eaters. Her adult has to be distracted if you're going to hold it. Then once it's distracted you can gently run your fingers along it's back and it will crawl up and coil around your wrist. If you don't distract it, it thinks your fingers are pinky mice ;) It's never bitten anyone, but headbutts and scares the piss out of you. [/QUOTE]
