    Any advice about taming a young snake? Will my young house snake ever settle down?

    First time snake owner ..... I have a very young Zambian House snake, about 14 inches long. He has tried to bite me on only one occasion. I have had him for about 2 months. Most times, when I pick him up, he struggles for the first 5 seconds ... really struggles. He is so fast in his cage...
