Ok I do see what you are saying. I can use the word "defensive" also. I do believe that there are some aggressive snakes. But for the majority you are perfectly right they do not come out and attack us for the shear joy in it. I just dont want it to get to the point that it continues to bite and strike. It is rattling it's tail but I dont think it is musking or anything. It rattles and strikes. But I have been bit by snakes before and it doesnt feel good. I am not worried about this snake too much but my younger brother likes to handle the snake and he is pretty sensitive. I am not allowing him to hold it until it calms down. Basically I was wondering if it would be possible for him to wear gloves while handling him so he doesnt get bit. He is pretty sensitive and things like that scare him at his younger age. I am trying to get him used to them so he will not be so scared of them. The snake striking at him isn't helping in that. My brother is 12 and has a problem with snakes that I am trying to help him overcome. I know that snake identify prey by their scent. But do they identify humans as well in the same manner so they will not strike? Or will they just identify us by sight? It's just a question? Just some thoughts that I can try to get some answers to, so I can help out the situation. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
