Paranoia?

Ok- so hubby still refuses to touch the snake. When I take it out, he sits there everytime it Moves and says "its gonna bite you." Now again logically I know this is crap, and even if it does bite me its not going to be the end of humanity. He sits there if I move and says "your making it mad, its about to bite you."

Now he has me all paranoid that the snake is gonna chomp on me any minute. It acts like it always does as far as I can tell.

Is there any behavior that indicates the snake is considering biting? Usually when I first pull it out it spends a bit of time tongue flicking me. Hubbys is convinced its contemplating taking a bite. It also has some odd fixation with my face (or perhaps my hair) I never let him rise up high enough to be right in my face, mostly because of hubby sitting there chanting "its gonna bite you." and also because if hubby happens to be right, I dont want to take one on the nose

Any movements or behaviors I should be looking out for? Why does he always want to climb up my chest and look me square in the face? Any thoughts?

Thanks guys! Its so nice to have sane and knowledgable people around as a sounding board. Sometimes I wonder how my husband and I ended up together when we obviously come from 2 different planets, lol!
