Thanks for the comments guys. And you're right, when we first caught the snake he was fairly placid although when he realized we weren't letting him get back to hunting he latched onto my arm pretty good.

The biggest problem with this one was it trying to consume everything it bit. Twice we had to carefully retrieve snake bags out of its mouth and another time it bit my friend's shirt and kept chewing, taking it further and further into its mouth. I would have loved to see it eat an actual animal.

To be honest I was just nervous, and it shows in the video. My girlfriend was filming, tourists kept approaching off camera. It was hot, we were being eaten by chiggers. The day before I handled her without a problem. What a difference your state of emotion can make huh?

Thanks for the advice and comments. I'm glad you liked the video!

Terry
