Hello all, I have a new milksnake, male I believe. He is a couple years old (~4 ft I'd say). He is very beautiful, albino, but he is not tame. He has not bitten or musked, but is very flighty. Also, this is my second day with him, but he has spent the whole time pacing restlessly, as if trying to escape. He rubs his nose along the glass and screen top constantly.
I have two ball pythons that were pretty easy to tame, they were young and easy to begin with. This guy is a different story. I am wondering if I should let him settle or start working on him right away? I did attempt to hold him yesterday, I lasted about a minute, he was so quick. How long should handling sessions last and how often? Also, I know he is a milk snake, but does anyone have experience calming down a snake like this? Any help/suggestions are appreciated!
Also, how much would his bites hurt? Comparable to a cat scratch? He is probably an inch and a half at his thickest, a large fellow.
