My mojave male is a demon incarnate. His name is Ares, and to have named him after the God of War was fitting. I can't so much as crack his tub, or he comes flying out , at least half his 3 1/2 ft, and starts striking like a maniac. If I hook him to move him, he'll strike at me from the hook, and heaven forbid I actually touch him! He has been like that since he was very small. I remember picking him up as a tiny thing and having him strike at me from my hand. Lol. I just expect him to try to eat my face and we get along fine.

Most of my others have a very strong feeding response, and take a couple minutes to calm down. But I'd rather have that than a bunch of snakes that don't eat consistently.
