Kinda like: snakes aren't aggressive.
Every time i see the first of these two statements, it has been corrected in the same manor the OP was corrected.

I have never seen a thread regarding that feeding myth where that has not been addressed and i've been here for over 2 years and browse -frequently-.

I'm still not agreeing with you on the aggressive thing. I understand where you're coming from when you say it, but i have to agree more with WingedWolfPsion, in my (albeit limited) experience owning and interacting with snakes, ive only ever revived defensive-related bites and i have what i could consider a testy animal, every time i open her tub she's there eyeing me up to strike. But -i- encroached on HER space and am bothering her, considering she is new to the routine im not all that surprised she's tried to bite me multipe times, is this an aggressive snake or a defensive snake?

I cant really address what skiploader said, considering i have no experience with large colurbrids or HOTs. :/
