If that works for you. Go for it(said like Rocky)

Snap is angry at the world... I picked her up and she instantly bit me, musked me and kept striking at me with a closed mouth and flattened head. Richard, are you sure she doesn't have any infernalis in her? I don't know why she hates me so much I pamper her and I rarely bother her... It's kind of funny. She acts like she loves me when I'm feeding her, she even tries eating me... Then any other time where there isn't food involved, she has her head flattened.Silly little girl.

I don't know what to say. I picked two that were always very calm when handling them, and you still ended up with a mean one! It's really not that often that I get mean ones in a litter. I'd say at least 90% of them tame right down with regular handling, or else they are just naturally easy going.

You just got "lucky" I guess. That behavior is extremely rare even from wild ones that I just grabbed of the ground. Didn't get bit or see the viper impression even once all last summer, from any concinnus', wild or CB.

If it's any consolation, you know how radixes are known for their good nature...

Well, I ended up with one that is mean as heck! I mean, this is mild compared to the way he usually acts. His sister is so tame that she'll come out of her hide and crawl right into my hand. This guy will strike at me when all I do is get near the tank. He hates me!

Keep in mind that little radix will someday be a big radix. They never forget, anything.
Sticking that finger in his face will be repayed.

Keep in mind that little radix will someday be a big radix.

Not at the rate he's going. If I didn't know any better I would swear he was 2 months old. He's just not growing. Healthy, strong, eating OK, but not really breaking any growth records. His sister is literally a foot long now. He can't be more than 6 inches. Hey, thanks. His name just hit me. I'll call him "Mighty Mouse"

Besides, if he keeps up that attitude, he may not be alive long enough to get big.

[gregmonsta]

He may just have 'little man syndrome'

[ConcinusMan]

Yup. I think so. On second thought, maybe I should call him "Napoleon"

[kibakiba]

Well Ember is no better. He freaks out at any movement. He calms down after I hold him for a while, though. But if I'm trying to get them out for cleaning time he acts like I've tried to chop his tail off. He literally goes so fast, when he hits the glass it's really loud and he looks kind of like... Well whatever happens when you hit something fast... He just doesn't like being touched, so I rarely hold him or bother him. It's funny when Snap is mad... She sits there doing this little cobra impression, sways her head while its flattened and does a little strike at my face. Best of all, she's so adorable when she does it

[kibakiba]

I was holding Ember earlier and I think he's getting towards that... Teen boyish phase in his life... He started courting with my finger. I had held his sister before that, but it was weird. I seem to have a thing with my snakes, Snakey courted with me before too, haha.
