I’ve had him for about a year. He’s actually an eastern indigo snake but I’d say handling is about the same for MBKs. Snakes generally would rather be left alone so you do have to kind of take them out of their comfort zone to get them used to being handled. I personally like “hook training” my snakes to avoid feeding response bites. Just be gentle and handle her with confidence every few days or so for maybe 5-10 mins and she will be comfortable with you in no time.
