Least nervous of all species

[smellati]

Hi all.
I was just wondering, out of curiousity, what snake would be the least shy and nervous around humans? Any out-going snakes out there?

I don't know about all of em but from personal observations my wife's spotted python is the champ! She is an eating machine and is just the nicest calmest snake. My Cali King on the other hand is the most skittish I think.

i think it's gonna vary from snake to snake... it's all comes down to their fight or flight response... i have a female ball python who is as gentle as she can get...doesnt jerk her head away when touch and will sit for hours around my neck...
on the other hand brad's male rtb is skiddish abnd flails around until he gets his way...lol doesnt bite but tries with all his might to get set free (and he's just a baby..)

I will say this thou..i agree with schmel about the cali king....and man are they fast!!!

yeah my cali king is very calm but every now and then if you spook him he goes in to a sprint they are quick he's the quickest snake i've handled saying that though he's not in the slightest bit head shy and once i open his viv i just put my arm in the viv and 9/10 he crawls out on to me. very hard to catch they seem to slip through your hands as well. i have to put my vote in for bci's, my 2 year old female doesnt flinch at anything and is as calm as they come. i also have a royal but there not really calm as such just exhibiting there defensive behaviour and is still a bit jumpy does'nt bite just flinches.
