depends on how you mean pain in the butt. one of my cobras ( a male banded egyptian) was always set on making me dead. other than that, though, he wasn't bad to work with. My favorite puff adder, used to manage to get substrate in his mouth whenever I had him offsite for display (always used newspaper at home, but it just isn't "pretty" enough for public viewing). the day after I got him home, I would have to pull him out and clean out his mouth, swab it down, and occasionally do follow up treatment for early mouthrot (he was very sensitive to any foreign stuff in his mouth). that happened whether he was on display for 2 hours or a week. Trying to force feed neonate waglers pinky strips because I couldn't find anything small enough that they would take??? That was a pin in the butt, I think it wins for me...even though once they were big enough to take a whole pink they were easy.
