Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
After reading this forum for a couple of weeks, I decided to get a bull snake. I ordered it from Homegrown Herps. It came in today. I am very impressed! I admit, I was nervous about handling it, so I just put the cup he was in inside the boaphile I had ready for him. I am trying to leave him alone for a few days--but I couldn't help peeking in on him every once in awhile. The second time I looked in he was right up by the front looking out at me in a striking pose! As I stepped away, wham, he struck up against the plexiglass! I have several corn and king snakes, and I am used to handling them all the time. But, I know I am going to be very nervous the first time I take out this one!
I just joined the forum and look forward to reading more about your experiences and telling you about mine!
Best regards,
Bill
Just kidding ...its all bluff , I am sure that if you pick him up he wont try that.
he may hiss a bit , but once he gets used to being handled he'll be just a calm as a corn.
And he needs time to adjust to the new surroundings as well as the trip.
Give him a few days, give him a meal, wait about two more days and then start to handle him.
Now you can take some pics, and put them in the photo contest.
I wish you guys were completely right but I have one that 100% not bluff and has tagged me on several occassions. The others are pretty good with one other that puts on a show but hasn't tagged me yet. I do have to say the non-bluffer is a Texas bull which could explain it .

There are exceptions in every case, I have a corn snake that will tag you every chance he gets. Most of the time I find that the W/C ones will be much more aggressive towards the human hand than the captive hatched ones.
I agree with Jim. I had the meanest corn snake that ever lived a few years back and he would bite repeatedly every chance he got. I think he had small snake complex because he was only about 3' long but man could he bite!
