what makes them aggressive?

you guys have to excuse me for asking sooo many question, even if i did a lot of research before decidig to finally getting a snake. i just wanna make sure i always do the right thing, just as one has to take good care of their children. i "adopted" this snake, and care for it, as much as i care for my children, so i think the more i know the better. anyways, i was wondering what makes snakes aggressive? the one i have is not aggressive at all, likes me, comes to me, loves to be held, and spoiled.lol, and just is easy as i never thought it could be. BUT......is there a chance of it getting aggressive later on in life, or does it mean, cus its calm now, it probably won't change..???

Just my .02

I don't think it is aggression as much as protective or defensive instinct. The snake reacts to interpreted threats and reverts to instinctive action. These actions, which we view as aggressive, are simply what nature has programmed the snake to do in order to increase his chances of survival.

he doesn't feel threatened by me, at least he never showed any signes, so is this normal??i mean he should have some prot.or def.instincts right?

The benefit of having a large collection is being able to compare the behavior of snakes. Each is an individual, just like people. Not everyone will react to you in the same manner. Some musk, bite, squirms, and flail about attempting an escape. Other will cuddle up like a puppy and crave attention. Personally, I think that the defensive scrapers would be more likely to reach maturity and live a long life back in a natural, non-captive setting. That is after all the survival of the fittest.

If your snake is happy, and you're happy, then I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Agree with previous posters on this one. As far as I've seen, the only cause of aggression in Corns is fear. Some Corns are naturally nervy but it's worth noting that they can't see when they're in the blue phase of the shed, so even the sweetest-natured snake can get very nervous if you're around them then.

Overall. if your snake is comfortable with you now, then I see no reason why this should change. The only thing that would make him afraid of humans would be if he was accidentally hurt by one, and I can't see that happening with the sort of care you're taking over the research!

Another thing to remember too is that the snake may show a little bit of aggression during feeding and soon after. my 3 year old Snow is the sweetest guy that I have seen in snakes, never been bit by him, and when I let him roam around in our living room, he even curls up next to my dog. kinda cute. will have to see if I can get a picture of that and post it up here...off topic. Anyway, when i feed him, he goes completely wild and I have to let him sit in the feeding box for about 10 minutes after he is done before I can attempt to take him out. I feed both F/T and live, and he does this with both.
