Currently, I have a red bellied, who was also deemed "vicious" and untamed. That was three years ago, but I decided that I was up for the undertaking, and purchased her. Today, she is so loving, and talks and bobs her head to get our attention. Initially, I was leery about buying her, because the breeder indicated that she has bitten several people who took an interest in her. For some reason, I just could resist and had to have her. That was one of the best decisions I have made, she is such a joy to have around.
