Question for all who have milksnakes

[Pogie]

Ok I've had Cersei for a while now. When do they calm down???? I can't even catch her without chasing her around the tank. Once caught she is fine. I'm afraid of stressing her out during the "chase"!

She still won't eat outside of a paper bag, so at feeding time I have to catch her, put her in a bag and leave her for about 15 mins and then let her out. But really, it's stressing me because I'm afraid I'm stressing her out.

I know it's going to take a while, probably much longer, but really do they ever calm down enough to catch easily?

I have several hides in her tank, and probably about 3 or 4 inches of bedding. So it's a hide and seek game to even see her.
