try using a box or a tub to place him in while you work in the cage.

A bite from that size will break the skin but will scare oyou more then anything. It might be a one time thing too. My calmest snakes have their days.
yeah its just been the last couple days, he used to be good to where he would want to come out and would just crawl all over me and be very ornery just like a boa, but the reason i put him on the couch is because he almost struck me when i was holding him so i put him down.

lately hes seemed nervous to come out but usally i just lightly rub on the side and he immedietly is ready to come and be his normal self, but not today i rubed him and he was still not wanting. i should of left him in
