Maybe I'm just wierd Jason but even when we were going through the early days with big Brannagh, where she was actively trying to bite us and almost unhandable....I just loved that snake and her damn you attitude! LOL Don't get me wrong here, I don't like or want to take a bite....but I just accept it as part of normal snake behaviour occasionally. It's also a thrilling challenge to find the unique way to get a snake past it's aggression with us. I've always loved rehabbing creatures.....my first dog has been abused and eventually shot by her previous human (barely human to be honest)...I got her when I was 9 so maybe it's just ingrained in me somewhat.

With Mal it's not aggression or a poor past life (Adam raises beautiful babies), it's just his strong feeding response. For me I don't even count his strikes as anything more than a typical "gimme rat!" attitude and hey I'll take that any day of the week LOL.
