What a lil brat!

Louie just hissed at me for the first time when I lifted up his hide to give him dinner lol brat!!! I'm like "no silly baby its just me!! Come and get it hot and fresh!!" He must think he's a big tough guy eating rats with fur now! I know I just probably surprised him. Anyone else get an off chance hisser like that before?

My bumble bee female hisses at me every time I pick her up. She's never struck, but she's always hissed. It's so cute.

I have a Woma female who hisses at me almost every time I pick her up. One hiss and she's done, it's all a bluff, she handles well. Now, when my spider girl hisses, that is another story, we don't pick her up.

So interesting! It's good you've never been struck. Louie's never struck anybody before either. It didn't really scare me so much as when he makes that S shape pose when he's about to strike lol that's when I really wanna stay out of the way I know he means business. Hissing was just silly tho putting on a bluff!!

My butter spinner hissed at me once, randomly, but she was in shed. She's a sweetheart otherwise. My carpet huffs and puffs at me all the time, but she's all talk, lol.

I help out at the pet store I got Nagini from and I'm responsible for getting new snakes to a point where they don't react very much to human contact. The one we have right now that I'm working with huffs at me no matter what I do. He's never struck at me, just huffed at me so whenever he does, I just say to him "Don't give me that"...

Even though he doesnt understand me

Never had my ball hiss at me - she is so laid back! My boa hisses mainly when she is going into shed - "leave me alone, I don't want to be bothered". I picked her up a couple of days ago and she let out a little hiss but I didn't think it was time for her to shed yet. When I got her out and had a better look at her I could see that her eyes were a bit hazy. She is so light in colour that it is sometimes difficult to tell when she is getting ready to shed but afterward she is absolutely gorgeous!

That's how my little Spotnose got her name after I had her for about a month. She would hiss at me a couple times so I named her Sassy...

My youngest daughter's female spider hisses anytime her cage door opens but has never shown any sign of agression other than that. My daughter is convinced it is the snakes way of saying hi.

My ball pythons have never hissed at me, but you should see the show my hognose put on! It's hilarious.
