I have two "hatchling" carpets none of which was aggressive or had struck at me. Again I think its based on a snake to snake basis and not all hatchling carpets are bitey.

Like most people have said just take your time with the snake, be careful and mindful of what the snake is going through. I generally only handle my carpets during the day, at night they usually come out and are in a hunting pose.

Other than that my experience is limited with these snakes. Good luck!! Should get better as the snake attains a bigger size.
