Do you hold your snakes or let them move around on their own? I usually try to hold my snake a few times a week for 10 min at least. Sometimes when Kojack gets comfortable he will try to escape my grasp. One time when he did that and I went to keep him from getting lose he jumped back at me. Kinda scared me but it probably scared him more. I'm still trying to get over my fear that he's going to strike me one day :-P
