I'm not saying it's one of the other but to say you know a snake is 'excited' to meet people is nonsense I'm afraid.
None of my current snakes seem bothered by handling whether by me or anyone else (even my ATB isn't defencesive) but I don't assume I know how they feel because I simply don't.
They may well be relaxed, they may be terrified. I therefore work on the assumption its the latter and keep handling to a minimum.

I wish I could handle my ATB without getting bit haha. He's getting better but still a feisty bugger.
