How do you make snakes don't bite you?

[@LoriTorrini]

Snakes bite for two reasons: to acquire food and to create distance. So to not get bitten, make sure your snake does not mistake you for food and make sure you are not something they find aversive, threatening, or that causes them fear, anxiety, or distress. I have an entire video about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHPKf3Wdn8-iabssi=4960Jzkt2fNf5Jyb

Some snakes seem really aversive to ape body hair (arms etc), but ok with palms. Suppose it relates to what they become more familiarised with.

@@af7409 Large mammals are natural predators and snakes are innately fearful of them.
