OK so I know corns aren't the best known for doing this(though I know they do) but have you ever seen/held/owned a snake that has been calm as anything one day and striking and in a mood the next? My partner seems to think that once a snake calms down from being a feisty hatchling it never strikes again unless it's to feed.
Right, opinions?! |

If you keep a snake then at some point or other then expect to get tagged, regardless of feeding time or not. Some get spooked for no apparent reason and will go defensive. Others like my MBK will go totally rogue and make a determined effort to kill. Thankfully his jaws got tired after 3 months and he went back to mice and is behaving nicely ... for now.  |

At the end of the day we never really 'tame' our snakes so we must expect to be bitten at some point.  |

Auld Baldy, that is exactly what I was trying to point out to him! He now says "I never said you wouldn't ever get bitten by a snake" Which is not what I said, I said that even after you "tame" a snake down you still have the risk of getting bitten if it decides one day that it doesn't exactly like you.
Herriotfan, thank you! |

They never 'like' or 'dislike' anyone. They do not have the emotions often attrbuted but they react to situations. If they feel threatened whether real or imagined they will try to escape from the threat, if they can't then they will try to scare you off by acting fierce. It's all they can do. A snake will only become tolerant and accepting of being handled but never tame like a pup or kitten.  |

I know that lol, you get what I was saying though? That they don't always stay "tame" and will sometimes strike at you for sometimes unknown reasons. What my partner is trying to say is that when a snake is a baby, it has reason to strike at us till it get's "used" to us through handling. I can agree with that, but the thing he's trying to say is that when the baby snake has become "used" to us through handling it will never strike again at us unless it's accidental when feeding. Basically, he's saying a snake cannot have a change of personality. |

I wish he had told Fester that fact. It would have saved me a great deal of pain.  |

| My 14 month old milk snake, Bryan, changes his personality in a matter of seconds. He is sitting in your hand motionless the next minute he is chewing on your fingers. If he don't get a good enough grip the first time he lets go and tries a different finger. |

| There, I've shown him the proof and he says you can't have "tamed" them properly so there's no telling him. |
