>>I am speaking for myself and probably for many Pit enthusiats.. Pits are major bluffers.. I have Black pines, Northerns, Bulls and Gophers.. Many morphs as well... they all do the Rattlesnake impersonations... they coil and rear up , hiss and tail shake... however with every single one of mine it BLUFF.. I reach right in with all that action and NEVER get bit .. dont get me wrong, they strick .. but they never bite.. once in a while i may get grazed by a tooth but these guys are all bark... you can grab em and pickem right up ... after a minute or 2 they will settle right down .. all the juvies are liek this , adults usually just loosen up and realize its futile.. You dont need a hook for these snakes ... just reach right in and grabem.. I I love these snake because they put on such a show but when it comes down to it , they are chicken ...

Hi Tom,

My female does not bluff.She would even take shots after I had her out.While im not afraid of a few dropplets of my own blood or the teeth pussing there way back out of my skin.I want to minimalize the stress to the snakes.I also dont want them breaking jaws when they hit the glass.I know where your comming from and have just grabbed everything from wc burmese and retics to everything inbetween.Hopefully like you said they will outgrow this phase...Thank you..M
