>>She is probably as thick as a banana.

Hi – Well, judging from the size of your snake versus the size of those keys in the photo, you must get some pretty small bananas where you shop.

Anyway, who can say for sure if the snake will remain nippy all its life? For sure, some of them do. I’d suggest you wear gloves at first while handling it to avoid mutual freaking out. They can be a little difficult to work with hooks since they tend to grab on so strongly to anything available for support, as you discovered when it wrapped you up. Just be slow and gentle and let it feel secure by allowing it to grip onto your wrist or whatever.

Here’s a pic of one of mine – closer to banana thickness, maybe.
