Yes to all of your questions!
Regular handling will calm the snake down. Often, juveniles can be noisy, but soon calm down as they grow.

I agree, they make good pets, just ignore all the puffing and tail rattling and pick them up with confidence.

thanks
what is a good price for one? havent seen any for sale on here, does that mean not popular or just difficult to get? just wondered if i did go for it whether in future any good getting another for breeding or just a pet

Depends where you get one from, anywhere from around £50 upwards.

my daughter has a black kingsnake hatchling whos tail goes like a fan but hes settling down nicely
i think its £54.00 very striking tones of pink & cream

[ian14]

For a shop that is a VERY good price. I found that my bulls as hatchlings were very feisty, but calmed down at around 6-8 months old.
You will also find that the colour of the albino will develop to bright red markings on a yellow background.

did have a really nasty bull /pine snake ,was a real snappy sod ,but did carm down after a while..

Bulls are lovely snakes! Never seem to get any down this end anymore. As the others have said they are great bluffers, but can be quite intimidating, just keep handling and you should end up with a great snake!

have to say im tempted, have a birthday coming up, may have to plead with my partner hes not a snake person & thinks 8 corns are too many think i would like to see him/her out of the viv first though. any handling advice, i would prob not want to delve straight in with my hand
