Hi all,

So as you know if you've read my posts, I'm a new snake owner. Does anyone know signs that the snake is comfortable with you? When I hold him in my hand, he just lays in a ball but his neck is curled up like he's going to strike. I can pet his neck and he might move his head a little quickly but it doesn't look like he's going to strike. And when I put him on the couch he curls up behind my back. That's where he is now and he will just chill in my hoodie pocket, too. I'm sure there will be a time when he bites me because the majority of snakes bite their owners at some point, right? I'm just trying to figure out if he's comfortable in my hand or he's just on alert to possibly strike. Sorry if this sounds stupid to you all who have experience with snakes. Anyway, any advice would be helpful! Thanks!
