Most of their behavior comes from our own. If you are the only one who can stay calm holding the snake, the snake will be calmest in your hands. It's like that here. Everyone almost gets bit but me, because I'm the only one who isn't afraid of it happening and everyone else gets panicked, almost just asking for it!![]()
Be the calmest with your snake, learn to read it's body language, and it will for sure want to be in your hands as opposed to the people holding it nervously!
