Why on earth would you want a snake that will bite people? I think you need to examine your motives for keeping a snake.

To answer your questions, most Nerodia bite savagely when first caught and quickly calm down (sometimes within minutes of capture). Obviously larger snakes can cause more damage than smaller snakes. I'm not sure about the Asian or Neotropical species.
