    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Same here. Concinnus are generally like that with a few exceptions. Females generally tolerate handling much better than males. WC or captive bred doesn't seem to make any difference. Heck, I've had WC adult Cali kings that were sweethearts compared to some that were born and raised captive. You can probably count on a WC snake to be as calm as it's going to get after several months of interaction and feeding. Some just tolerate you because your their provider and they know it. Doesn't mean they like to be handled.

    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!
