I used to keep them, and I'd say with enough time he should settle. I don't know that w/c ever tame down like captive hatched, but I'd give it a try. All obsoleta like to climb, but you don't have to keep them in tall cages, unless you like the aesthetics.

Later, TMC.

: I just got a ~3 foot wild yellow rat. Right now he's very jumpy and nippy. Can I expect him to gentle?
: Also, do keepers commonly use tall cages to allow the snakes to climb? Mine came from 30 feet up in the rafters of an old tabacco shed. He regurged five baby birds a little while later.
