...what is the best tempered big snake? I mean big snakes like out of the Reticulated Python, Yellow Anaconda, Green Anaconda, Burmese Python etc. I know it depends on the individual but what species are generally best behaved. Any other big species that ive left out?

How well behaved are retics (a male) if handled everyday?

You answered your question already..........

There are no species specific "tameness", it comes down to individual animals......

Yeah but some species are easier to "tame" than others I mean

I have no experience with them besides a few handles, never owned one, but I've read retics and burms are the easiest. I've heard yellow anacondas are the meanest out of the snakes you listed.

Emmmm, and that the one I have lol He's only a baby I know but getting him out his viv - fine, handling him - perfect, getting him back into his viv - does Not want to go back in there. I've read that they dont like being put into any containers or bags. I dont think greens do this though

Not neccessarily........You have to understand the animal and what it was built to do, before you could even make a comparison. By then, you'd be comparing apples to oranges, because a Burm doesn't compare to a Scrub Python, and a Retic doesn't compare to a Burm in regards to what they do.......

Figuring out what/why they do goes along way in trying to understand why some things or actions make one species aggressive/defensive, and why those same actions don't bother other species.......
