although your snakes have never struck or hissed at you, I do not feel that snakes can ever truly be tamed. What you do with your kids and your snakes is your choice, however, I don't think I'd ever do that with my kids.
Just because they have never bitten does not mean that they never will. They are still wild animals and have a mind of their own. You can never trust your snakes 100% because you cannot actually know what they will do. However, I do agree that I trust some more than others, but they are still animals and the ones I trust more, I can never completely trust. One of my pastel males that almost never bites has bitten me at least two times. I trust him more than my het albino female who is an absolute you know what, but my pastel has still bitten me. Basically, I feel you can never completely trust a snake and I never would trust a snake enough to have it slither around my kid.
