Lol...I have had a few that make me think twice. Sometimes you just need to grab them and pick them up. They are usually fine then. I have one that is way more aggressive than my others. He will strike from weird angles and even when being held, which most won't do. Although he strikes a lot he has never connected. I think he is trying to warn me but I just ignore him and know he will never be the snake I take out for the kids, although my 11 year old always picks him up and gets struck at also. These are wild animals that sometimes don't conform the way we like. If you are totally worried about it get a hook to pull him out a bit before you grab him. Then it is easy to turn him the way you are comfortable picking him up.
