Can't even see the video, and prefer not to get bit at all. And that's been working out just fine for many years so far

LOL. I'm sure most of us prefer not to get bit

. Sometimes it's just inevitable. As a keeper it's good to know how to handle those situations and to get past that fear.

Yeah I've never had an issue with any of the snakes I've personally kept. The problems came in with the snakes(or reptiles in general) that we used to get at my old job. We'd get rescues, drop-offs, etc. that were sooo defensive. I would usually just suck it up and pick them up. Most of them quickly realized I wasn't there to hurt them. The funny thing is, after they got it over with most of them turned out to be really good snakes. Makes me wonder how their prior owners handled them and cared for them.
