I agree. I've heard they won't do this unless completely comfortable and after eating. I've seen my snake open her mouth even when just exploring my bed but to have them do it multiple times upon first meet WHILE being held is odd. take it to the vet for a check up. but also do your research because an RI is very hard to diagnose, even for vets.
