: i have a texas leucistic rat snake, a baby male, as an adult how big of a tank will he need?

If he is your only snake I would get a 55 gal aquarium for him.

: also, he does not bite at all, EVER, but he just tries to get out of your hands when you hold him...hes 6 mos old now, any ideas at what age they tend to stop being so scared?

snakes tend start calming down after they get a little size. The bigger they are the smaller you seem and less threat. But EVERY snake is different. I would say that on average 3'+ snakes are much calmer than smaller ones. (based on personal experience)
