So i am having a SuperBowl party and people want to see the snakes and some of the chickens decide they want to hold one, a small one.
So i take out my little albino girl to show and let some people hold her so they can see how nice and calm they are
So the wife holds her
and then a few friends hold her after my wife.
Then my sister-in law gets the courage to hold her, she is petrified of snakes, but alcohol can make you brave
I'm watching the snake and can tell she is getting squirrley and nervous so I calmly take het out of her hand
And she starts striking! My sis ran for her life LOL.
This snake has never struck before but I am a firm beliver that most animals get a vibe from people and when you are nervous or scared the animals sense it and react. The key is to be calm yet assertive and animals will be calm and submissive.
My buddy was shocked that I didn't even flinch after she tagged me twice. The one thing they learned is even if you get bit, it doesn't hurt.
