Re: mmm mmm good !
They are all different Dennis and some do take to handling better than others or just take longer to not stress over it. Sometimes it's just a bad day and they are in the "hiss off" mood or it may be related to their level of hunger, or just some unknown stressor or they are just a snake and hey snakes bite sometimes LOL. Our little male is just fine any day BUT feeding day. Then he will strike at me or anything that is warm and moving but I consider that a great thing and his feeding response is second to none.
If it helps put on some gloves for a bit till either you figure out what is triggering the behaviour or the snake isn't doing it. Being bitten isn't a huge deal but if gloves make you feel more relaxed that helps as I swear snakes pick up very quickly if a person is not relaxed and it makes them even more agitated.
It's good to not push a snake too fast, too far or past their limits but don't let Eve get into the habit of thinking she can drive you away with her antics. Just be firm and deal with her gently but firmly respecting the limititations that all snakes naturally have for handling.
