I always tell the people who get my baby snakes.....


If they do bite, do NOT put them away, just reinforces the strike at it and chase it away behavior.


They seem to sense who is comfortable holding them versus who is afraid.


Gentle support from underneath rather than grasping them.


And like the others have already said, you will get bit!!! Calm reaction and NOT pulling away will keep the damage minimal to you and the snake. Their teeth are designed to keep prey from escaping, pulling only sets them deeper and tears your skin.
