Some of my adults were the most aggressive snakes I've ever seen in my life...including mambas, cobras, etc.

I had an adult male out on the floor actually choose coming after me over an obvious escape route, this was the only time I've ever seen this in a snake. He actually chased me and grabbed the leg of my jeans and chewed like "take this you lousy so-and-so"

I had a very secure hide area and covered all of the glass on the cage but about 3" that I could peer in. Otherwise...he'd have torn his nose to the bone trying to kill me.

His mate, "lady-evil"...well, let's just say her personality is reflected in her name.

I thought they were fun animals...but, I completely gave up on trying to "tame" them. Some yt's can be very very calm.

But the "bad" ones are very tough to re-habilitate.
Get out the gloves and the snake hook!
