I just saw a funny, old post with pics regarding getting bitten by w.c. Y.T's that were previously owned by me! I've handled several w.c. Y.T's and while the snakes mentioned in the post never bit or attempted to bite me, I surely have been bitten by the w.c. snakes. I never restrain them, move fast, or speak loudly while handleing them and they seem to not feel threatened. Also, I've rarely had one attack me once out of the enclosure and in hand.
I currently have a 7 foot long w.c. male that tries to bite me everytime I approach his enclosure. He is super aggressive and will strike the glass till his nose bleeds if you look at him for too long, but once he's out of the enclosure and in hand he chills out.
I treat them as if they were "hot" until they get accustomed to my presence. Wanting and having to handle the snakes, but not wanting to get bloodied made me adapt to their temperments!
Hope everyone's doing well!

Take care
B.L.
