I will go a step further and say that a lot of biters are calm at shows. I had a Pine snake that was just plane evil. she would bite when you picked her up and keep on biting until you put her down. Sometimes she would crawl closer to you just to bite you.

I took her to a show and put a low price on her and the first guy that saw her asked why she was so cheap and I explained her disposition fully. He then asked if he could handle her. I smiled and said sure if you want to bleed. Now this guy was a wrestler and liked pain so he thought that would be fun.

Out she comes and she just sits there. He looks at me and says I thought she was mean. I then had to show him my arm from packing her and assure him that she would bite. He reluctintly bought her and left the show. I promised him that if she didn't bite when he got home I would take her back.LOL He happily returned just before the end of the show to let me know she got mean as hell as soon as she was put in a cage.

So don't be to happy about a snake that is nice at a show if it is a snake that is known to be a biter(Green Tree Pythons)
