Well, I would have to say that the one thing that all of us need to remember is these are captive animals with wild instincts. There is really no way to tell definitively when or what will be a trigger for a strike at a given time. Sure, we can read our animals most of the time, and know that there are a few things we can avoid to keep them from striking out. However there are those times that a seemingly unprovoked strike will happen. We need to try and always be on guard for this bc again the "wild instincts" phenomenon is a real one. So, if we prepare for it more routinely maybe that will help with the avoidance and reduction in occurrences. Remember too, these animals are individuals with their own personalities and they all deserve a certain amount of space and respect. Some are more tolerant than others but at the end of the day they are exotics and not domestics.
Stay in peace and not pieces.
