I've seen a video of one of these 'non-aggressive' snakes attacking a diver. He got away, but it goes to show that individual snakes can break from the norm in the behaviors they display. I remember reading of some zoo officials who said one in a hundred rattlesnakes had a disposition that would make them a good pet. The trick is to know which one.
Be back in a minute with a question. (I didn't expect to win.)
