More aggressive corn?

gluttony,

perhaps the different ways your hands smell (or don't smell, considering the soaps you use) might be impacting "bitey"? as a chef, i would also imagine your clothing might also carry some interesting lingering scents. wow! at the wonders of smells that might be confusing this snake.

I was just putting ideas out there. My snow is very docile, he may just be in serpent love with me and the lotion has no impact. The nail polish trick worked with my bitey snake, only that one died before I had a chance to completely turn over his attitude. the snake may be stresse over something that has nothing to do with you as well.

Another idea...cool down the temp a few degrees. I have a snake who likes to be on the cooler side of the eighties. I keep her dimmer around 80 for the day and around 74 at night. She isn't aggressive, but she has regurged three times and the only conclusion I have is that she was too hot. Turn down Bitey's heat for an hour or so before picking him up, so he wont be so hot and bothered.
 
Some snakes for whatever reason may never calm down. I don't think there is any shame in trading the snake for a less aggressive one if you can't turn its attitude around.

That said, with regular handling most snakes will eventually calm down.
