You have mentioned it a couple of times  . I'll take hate though as they really are special snakes  .
I'm not adverse to up the handling once they're settled. I have been speaking to last few scrub owners and they largely do calm down with enough gentle handling.
They're intelligent snakes though and remember when you've stressed then as well as when you've been gentle with them apparently and will punish accordingly so it's a balancing act.
I'll get there with them though.
