Maybe you're just very "inspiring"? I don't know- for now, I'll keep an open mind. I've never had a snake do anything of the sort, nor am I convinced that putting a snake back after they bite you teaches them how to control you (ie. make you leave them alone). I do agree that when I snake has to go & we start handling them, that enhances their sense of urgency & they sometimes lose control, but whether that's actually a "signal" of any kind? Let's see if anyone else has had similar experiences though.
