I am fairly new to keeping snakes in general and have for about a year now. For some reason every time I feed my snakes, their strike scares the crap out of me! Well more like a startle... I know it's coming so why do I jump and flinch every time they strike? I have no idea... I have been bitten by an adult Ball before but i've been doing it ever since before that. I also jump when my Tarantulas strike at their feeders while still on the tongs. My heart starts racing and then I just get upset with myself. It's really frustrating... Any of you react the same way?
