It's interesting that the dealer from whom I bought them called them "nasty" and "foul-tempered" beasts. He also mentioned that he got bit TWICE by the 2nd snake that he shipped to me when he put it in the bag.
So why have I not been bitten by EITHER snake (first that died, or his replacement), and my 2nd snake has been home almost 2 weeks?
I think you've pointed out a keen factor that is often overlooked: the confidence level & snake handling skills of the keeper.
I try to not be naive, nor to expect too much from a Trat or any snake for that matter, but then I also try to remember the Hunchback of Notre Dame and many others who had a bad reputation, but once you got to know them better...
