Yeeep. My older snake is a sweetheart, but on feeding day and with the smell of rodents wafting around the room, he comes out like a jack in the box when the top of the tub comes off. It's fairly funny, and slightly nerve wracking.It can happen with the tamest gentlest snake ever if the smell of rodent is in the air, or on the hand
Any other time/no smell in the room and he's happy to crawl onto a handy, no problem, but when he's hungry and smells rats, things get... exciting. I would NOT want to try to move him in that state, either.
