Why do snakes bite?
Two reasons. A: Stupid feeding errors such as not washing your hands after handling food (or a pet rodent/bird) thus smelling like food, not using tongs/ dropping food in and dangling the food item by the tail etc, this is also the reason a snake would constrict or B: They’re scared. Snakes don’t bite because they’re mean or out to get you or anything like that. A nippy snake is a frightened snake. Generally, if you leave a wild snake alone they’ll leave you alone too and happily flee in the opposite direction.
