So I bought a 1 year old Russian Rat about six months ago primarily as a "pet" snake for handling and such. The breeder told me that he had a great temperament but of course when I get him he is flighty and a bit nippy. I've tried to calm him down with handling but it just doesn't seem to be working. I feel guilty having him in a cage all the time without ever taking him out. At this point I'm just so busy with working full time plus school that I don't have the time to devote to handling and calming him down. Do you think I should try to sell him (maybe to a breeder) and get a hatchling instead? I just have feelings of guilt every time I see him now
. I also am very hesitant to post him on craigsist, as I don't trust that he'll go to a good home. Any suggestions? Thanks,
