My collection's getting to the point where I haven't got time to handle everything but also some snakes are good to handle and some aren't. My bulls are big powerful snakes which use me as climbing frame, and so are my Taiwans - great fun.

But my blue beauties, ridleyi and Radiata are all pretty nervous and/or aggressive. But I enjoy this - my female radiated has such good defensive posture etc. that i don't want her to get tame!!!

I like watching these guys defend their territory and therefore don't want to turn them into docile handleable animals. Even if it does mean taking the odd nip or two.
