well i had my snake out handling him just now and he was crawling around on my shirt kinda close to the bottom of it around my stomach...and i looked down and i saw his little head looking at me about a foot away...and his mouth slowly started to open and i was thinking..."what is he doing..is he gonna yawn?" and the BANG...he struck at me.....what is up with that? He didn't bite me...but it was sure close. it scared the hell out of me.
