Re: My snakes hate me!!!
Well, snakes are still wild animals, even if you get them aquainted to you
 Part of the 'charm'

Re: My snakes hate me!!!
nothing like the aroma of garter musk in the early morning when you're out in the field herping and you catch one....

Re: My snakes hate me!!!
Good to hear I'm not alone. My snake bit me and musked every time I tried to get a hold of it. as time went by it settled down and got more quiet. A trick I realized is that when you are picking it up be sure not to grab it but try to make it fall down on your hand if it for example tries to climb up the sides of the vivarium. Many of you probably noticed this years ago, I'm just thrilled that I found a way to handle my garter without bites and musk!

Re: My snakes hate me!!!
Yeah, learned that trick with my first snake.
 Interestingly, my tetra seems to have an opinion on which way I should hold my hand, too. Palm up is okay, palm down isn't. I can do pretty much anything as long as my hand approaches with the right side down. It's not a matter of what direction it's coming from either.
