Almost Legendary
I have a query that's been in the back of my mind for a while and I'd like to hear mainly from the field herpers and/or snake catchers if possible.
I find that even with reptile friends and people who have a healthy respect for snakes that EBs are the only snake they won't trust and that they truly believe will chase you down. I find it difficult to defend them because I've never seen a wild one. The couple I've seen in captivity were nasty but I assume that's partly because I was trying to hook and tail them into a bag (on a ven course).
So for those who have actually encountered them in the wild, what are they like? Do they S up the instant you get near them? Is their first instinct usually fight rather than flight?
Thanks
