Help with aggressive snake.

[cmack91]

The problem is it never balls up it is always trying to lung at where ever my hands are going. The only time I seen this thing in a ball is when the original owner handed it to me. Ever since its been very aggressive. I did cover its head up tonight to clean its tub since it dumped its water every where. It tried to bite me at first when I was moving it to the holding tub. Then when I was putting it back in its tub it got my thumb for a split second. I didnt want to handel it any longer due to the fact that it just ate hours earlier.

if he gets you and coils up again, dont stop what your doing to get him off, just continue what your doing, even if that means taking care of the other snakes while hes busy trying to eat you. eventually he'll figure out that he cant, and will be more hesitant to strike since he'll know that he cant kill you or let alone eat you, and that you wont care even if he tries. theres no way around getting bit with a snake like this, you just gotta take it
