Again, remember, this is what I have READ as I am a corn snake newbie, most latelings apparently mellow. My Attitude (named that for the BAD attitude) is starting to be better. When I first got him/her, I averaged 2-4 ~bites~ per handling session. Now we are down to a couple strikes, no bites, and about 50% of the time s/he does not even strike at me, just coils at first then goes thru my fingers like a normal snake. So that is consistent with what I have read, but I only have the one hatchling.
Edit: "lateling" should be "hateling"!
