I think I have to disagree with you on that one but I could be wrong. I think it is the hunter and hider in them, see whats going on and then hide or strike. Don't try this but if you put your hand in right away, its going to get bit. They pop up to see what is going on. My understanding is that a snake is not like a dog. They do not know who feeds them and who does not. They are curious and hunters. Thats what they do and pretty good, they are not social animals that beg to be let out of their cage when you get home to be handled. I had one guy tell me once while tryig to sell me a retic that his snake begs to be held. They prefer to be left alone. I never understood the wagging tail thing. Mine did this and I always was more cautious when I saw this.

Good Topic.
