i've had my kingsnake since about january and it was very small when i bought it. since then, it's grown to a little over 2 week and has become pretty thick. but one day when i was holding it, it striked at my knuckle! later on i would wear gloves to hold it and it striked at my glove and tried to constrict my finger. is there ANY way to get my kingsnake to be as tame as it once was, so i can hold it without any gloves, like i used to be able to? any advice would be very appreciated.
