Some are, some are not.

I have a couple that are like puppy dogs, and I have a couple that musk, and a couple that bite.

If I were going to sit on the couch and hold a snake, the python or corn are better choices, But I do know one young lady who allows her garter snakes to free roam in her house quite often, and she rarely has problems, however her situation is extremely rare.

She dropped off one of her females for me to have a stud breed with her, she was dog tame and used to constant handling.

Heck this girl goes into the mall with that snake in her purse.

For the average owner, yes they are flighty little snakes.

What I love most is that they are always alert to their surroundings, they are active by day and sleep by night.....
