I have yet to catch one(wait, maybe just one) that didn't want to tear me up.
However, when first approached they dont strike. they bluff, threaten and run, but allow themselves to be picked up. Only a few minutes later will they start to go for me in earnest.
Maybe its when they start to see you wont hurt them and they just wanna be let down.
great snakes tho. I love the color variability.
