Thanks for the good advice. I had already started touching and handling it in the cage. I could touch him and it would push me away. I could grab it behind the head and it would just slither though my hand. I could pick it up in the cage and it would just try to get away. It never once struck at me in the cage. It would strike the glass when you walked by though. Haven't got it to eat yet. I will try what you said.
