Very true. When i got mine as a baby, he was in total rage mode once he got out of that bag. Very intimidating for such a tiny snake. And smart, I had a very tough time corralling him. Unlike a BP where I can just distract it with one hand and grab with the other, he kept track of both hands and effectively kept me away.
At one point he was lunging partially off the floor coming at me and my (very large) camera -- so you had a human being pushed back by one very upset little snake. Fun stuff.
Today he's 2+ years old and 4 feet long and still growing, and a real sweetheart.
I bet that was adorable.
For some reason the fiesty smart ones just melt me into a puddle.
