i think they keep their wild instincts even when they have been in captivity for a while, Gaters and other snakes dont ever become completely tame there is always a part of them that remains wild, but that is just my opinion though, others may feel differently.
I dont think its more likely to become prey as the instincts of hiding when birds fly over stay with it, but im not sure if it will be less frightened of human contact, and we all know that some humans out there are very cruel.
