One of the cutest things I have seen with a biting snake is a baby Garter by my parents farm. My nephew found the little baby and it coiled up and went into strike mode. It started striking when my nephew put his hand close to him. My nephew was terrified of snakes for months haha. He got over it now, because he understands that the little guy was just super scared. He has held my corn and loves his mom and dads ball python, Moby
