How crazy are honduran milk snakes in the wild?

[Arachnaeoccult]

Heres a question of consideration. Out of owning 3 snakes and 3 tarantulas, and a scorpion, my pets have never been able to nip me. My youngest G pulchripes which also has the longest time in my custody can be fed crickets by hand without being bitten, she's an extremely socialized pulchripes raised from hatchling with much handling. My asian forest scorpion male required sheer recklessness on part of my redneck friend to pick him up by the tail in order to get a stinger into his finger (luckily he didn't recieve a dose of venom because that hurt a lot and he withdrew immediately) to actually tag a human. However, during feeding of my honduran milksnake, a full grown adult male that measures 5'8 easily, accidentally nipped me during rat feeding. Something not even my arachnids have done and my snakes haven't come close to (except those tiny baby corn snake nips, those are funny so I don't count them). Sylvester drew a chicken scratch-pinprick of blood and there was essentially no injury. But still, because of the behaviour and ferocity of this animal I want to know how they really are in nature.


A burmese python as a pet is a wonderful gentle giant. A burmese python captured straight from the wilderness by my backwoods buddy proved to be a companion over time but still held a speed and strength that made it a beastly when riled. I'm eager to know just how mean milksnakes get in the wild, just as I imagine ball pythons in their natural african habitats being mean and territorial.
