Most of them are alright, most handle well enough when they are out, they can be a bit flighty, some of them don't have the best temperments though, I suppose if one were to get babies and spend time handling them a lot some would have improved temperments, but with a few hundred snakes its pretty much hard to do everything else and spend time with every animal from baby to adult hood.

Lol. Yes currently we have about 300 snakes, havn't done an exact count, always adding something to the collection, and once everything starts laying eggs and giving birth it adds to it, with feeding and cleaning especially, have to have everything separated and such. It can be a bit hard to upkeep everything to where its spotless, it seems everytime you clean something they mess it up right away. There is always something to scrub and clean around here.
Plus we started breeding some of our own rodents. We insulated and heated a 20 X 20 shed, as well as with an AC unit. We have a few hundred mice breeding, and I don't know how many rats, maybe 50 out there now, and a pair of rabbits now just to see how that will go. I try to keep the rodent breeding fun, by breeding for different colors and morphs in the rats and mice, better than just working with a bunch of albino mice lol. Plus some people pick up the neat colors and stuff as pets. I also plan on getting a few other critters to breed, variety of critters can be a good thing at reptile shows for sure, not everyone wants cold-blooded critter.
The stuff I really focus on handling is mostly the stuff I like, and well for me thats the bigger animals, Erik doesn't have the time for handling, what with working all day on cars, he is pretty beat by the time he gets home. Now that he doesn't have a store though he can focus a bit more on the home collection though. Although I have plans of re-opening a store, that I cost him to lose.
Sorry for the lengthy reply lol.

Yes, I believe the greenish rats are a cross between some two rat snakes, will have to ask erik on exactly which ones, so I don't say what I think and be wrong lol. Yes not too many people see the egyptian rats, they actually start out as babies and have patterning, and usually tan and the brownish coloring to outline the markings and such, as they, mature they lose all their pattern and baby like colors, and change to all orange with the black specks/markings that is shown by the adult male up there, the female is a much darker orange than the male.
