I used to be very afraid of the snakes that bit, I didn't want to hold them or anything. But I was thinking about why each of them bit me and realized that every bite was my fault. Bps bite when hungry (generally missing the prey or I smelled like rat) or when very scarred and it is a defense mechanism. I imagined myself in the position of the snake and being held by a giant and decided that I probably would have bitten the giant as well... lol Hope this helps
