I can only reinforce what has already been said.

Several of my snakes are rescue snakes, and they have been cast around a bit before landing here.

LOTS of gentle handling, you should also do some feeding. In time you will EARN the snakes trust. However they may remain skittish. Each one is an indavidual.

Patience and persistence are the key. Bites are not painless, but easily tolerable depending on where they get you. (long sleeve shirts will help, and soak up the musk fluids as well)

As it has been said before, if bit never pull the snake off.. Suck it up soldier, pain is temporary. Be safe and keep your face clear at all times.

if you do this, please commit to it and stick with it for as long as you can. It sounds like these snakes need some good care.

Peace.
