Folks always talk about not handling thier aboreals because they like to bite. I have never had any aboreal snakes but I hope to have a Green Tree Python one day. I figure I will take the same stance with it as I do with my other snakes. I will get it as a baby and handle it probably everyday. I just figure the more handling you do the better the snakes temperment. Like I said I have never had one but it seems some folks don't handle them because they are nippy and are told that they are all like that and thats why folks don't try. I watched a wildlife show where the guy was grabbing wild ones he caught and they didn't take a strike at him, atleast while they were filming.
