I have found that coxi babies are pretty calm initially but once they are feeding well they get defensive. they do calm down when they are adults though, or mine did. they will try to bite only if they think im food, and dont have the spastic defensive strikes they do when they are young when they sometimes throw their whole bodies into the air. ive found that even then, most are ok if i lift them with a small cage hook and lower them onto my hand. moving my free hand to the hooked snake though often elicits a strike.
