Gotta agree with you there, Raul. Dealing with any of our snakes, if they are acting up a bit, you have to be confident, firm and direct in your movements. Hesitation gets you bit. I think being a predator they can likely pick up on nervous tension/fear response pretty easily. I know most of our snakes that hiss in their enclosures very quickly chill out once removed and Brannagh at her worst was always worse in or near her enclosure. Almost like a cage aggression/home territory defense thing with her.
