I wouldn't quite call it an advantage..
But another 'good' thing with babies..Is that when they do strike, the can't really do any harm, so it sort of desensitizes you a bit and you are less likely to jerk your hand back (which only startles the snake more)
Being prepared for a bite, and knowing that it won't really hurt (not even from the adult that I had who bit twice during breeding season) Helps you react better.
