Some can be a bit aggressive when approached in their cage especially if they are not used to being handled. You need to move slowly, and some times if they hiss or are in a strike position, I touch the snakes nose (gently) with the bamboo tongs I use for feeding.. this usually gets them to back down. Once out of their enclosure they probalbly won't strike. but you should avoid sudden movements especially around their head.
After they get used to handling they are a piece of cake.
Oh.. and stop torturing your snake with childrens toys.
Good luck!
