Putrid186, I had a lot of trouble handling it when it was nippy cause I was nervous. Once I got past the nervousness of the new guy - the snake seemed to be less nervous too and in turn stopped tagging me.
I have no idea if this is actually something snakes can pick up. But mine does much better when I'm not anxious about handling it.

I don't see anything wrong with gloves?
I got tagged everyday getting the water dish for the first three weeks with my guy.
Then I got gloves.
I know they're never big cuts, but I've never been really comfortable with an animal breaking my skin.
