I've heard a good taming down technique is to use a snake hook and gently touch the snakes nose every time you plan on interacting with them, apparently (although this is american advice :P ) they'll eventually learn the difference between the viv doors opening for feeding and the viv doors opening for handling.
Other than that I guess it's the same as any other snake, keep handling through all the bites until she stops :P |

She's a cb11 from a breeder and is tame(this is what I've bin told)
So I suppose the new question is are there any tips on keeping them tame apart from regular handling |
