When I was a kid I used to pin my little brother to the ground and put my knees on his shoulders and then pretend I was going to spit in his face. I did this because he would get so mad that he would start shaking and it made me laugh. Then my Dad would get so mad at me for picking on my brother that he would start to shake while he was yelling at me. When snakes get mad they can shake. As long as your animal is eating and seems to have sensation along its body I think it's okay. Your snake just might not like you or you messing with it. Don't think you have anything to worry about!

That;s funny my older brother used to do that to me. That is of course before I got large enough to put a stop to that forever. I too used to shake uncontrollably. Ever since then I have a fear of claustrophobia. LOL
