Really pissed off my snake

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.

i used to have snakes years ago me and my mate used to breed them so i used to get bit on a regulre basis and to be honest its something that you would laugh at more then anything we stopped breeding and sold up. now im getting back in to it and im to nervous some times about getting bit Evan tho i know it dose not really hurt its just a awkward sensation so i just want one to hurry up and bite me so i can get back in to the mind state of it lol but i promise once you get your 1st bite out of the way you will not be arsed if you get bit again..... this dose not go for emerald tree boas they are not happy guys

I would just pick them up if that was what I wanted to do in the first place, but that's just me. It's been a really long time since I got tagged but there is way more fear into getting bit than pain, not that I enjoy it. The hardest thing is not pulling away as you don't want to harm the animal by pulling away.
