With all the different species and subspecies I have I can honestly say I don't have a mean one in the bunch.
Food time can be interesting but outside of that they are all calm, cool and collected.

I find that quite interesting... I mean, there are a lot of mean radix (and of course other species) but, you don't have any... And you probably have more than anyone... Over 300 radix. You would think you'd have at least one!!

Not sure what to say.
It sure makes caring for them a lot easier.

I mean, c'mon... I guess it's just your ranch life. You must treat 'em gooooood.

Ok, well my guys aren't mean, necessarily, but would rather be left alone. I did complete tank changes yesterday, so lots of transferring back and forth. No one bit me, none of the garters musked me, but it still wasn't a really pleasant experience for them or I. The young king on the other hand S's up, typically doesn't strike, but will musk me... probably about half the time I get her out, which I do often. Interesting burnt rubber musk. Once out she's fine... but yeah, I still think they need to visit Uncle Steve.

I was kidding, but I meant different than what anyone else does! Ibwasnt serious, but you have to be doing SOMETHING different! really i was joking.

Nothing bad intended.
I just didn't know what you meant.
I'm fortunate to have so much time to spend with them.
Being retired has been a blessing. A blessing for my snake also.
