Re: Most Aggressive Snakes you've worked with
I am yet to meet an aggressive snake but my gopher will hiss and shake her tail at me. I also have a carpet that still bites 100% of the time but my gopher puts on an amazing display so she wins.

Re: Most Aggressive Snakes you've worked with
Would that be one of your adult jungles? I would not like to come across an angry full grown carpet. Just found out the other day how ling their reach can be.
My female was at the back of her cage and grabbed the rat as soon as i slid open the glass doors...

Re: Most Aggressive Snakes you've worked with
As far as aggressive species I have a female woma that is psychotic. If she sees the light come one she will come out of her hide and start tracking and striking glass. Anytime I reach in her enclosure she swings. I have only ever held her once where she didn't try and bite me. Now she is purely driven by a serious feed instinct. Many people have several stories about their female womas.

Re: Most Aggressive Snakes you've worked with
Never owned a rock python but I've met a few(all didnt hesitate to bite before I got in reach).
I've not owned a species that all were aggressive/defensive. But every black racer I've caught has been just insane. Caught a seven footer a couple years back that was determined to get my face. Never had one not have a go at me.
As for what I've kept. I've had a WC adult male blood that was super mean; but 2 female CBs that were really calm. And my jampea has a rediculous feeding response. You've got to be focused and prepared when opening her cage(she'll lounge 3+ feet out in an instant). But if I touch her with a snake hook I can reach right in no problem. And my other retics are really calm. They don't have the same feed response of the jamps.

Re: Most Aggressive Snakes you've worked with
I've lived in Florida my entire life, and I don't see the appeal of keeping a black racer. I've never caught one that didn't try to bite me repeatedly. You guys must be masochists lol.

That's so awesome. I really hope to find a young one someday, or one that's been established and is eating and healthy.

Re: Most Aggressive Snakes you've worked with
My radiated rat has started to grow into her adult temperament. She was very chill as a hatchling but as she has started to grow she has gotten more and more defensive. The other day she "chased" me and lifted the first third of her body up in the classic S-position and started to gape and strike. A lot different from the carpets I'm used to. But that is more defensive than aggressive.

Re: Most Aggressive Snakes you've worked with
The most aggressive snake I handled was a juvenile California king snake. It also gave me my most painful bite lol.

Re: Most Aggressive Snakes you've worked with
I've never worked with, or encountered a truly aggressive snake. One of my Sand Boas, my female Snow, was a bit defensive when i got her, but has calmed down tremendously over the past year that i've had her...
