I'm guessing that this is in reference to Savus(?), since you highlighted them in the quote - actually, no, your average cornsnake will be over a foot longer than your average Savu python. Nasty?? Well, that is a pretty subjective word. Many types of snakes put on a show of aggression when they are babies - we're big, and they are scared of us. Personally, I'm not impressed by the show, and don't consider a snake nasty unless it really puts effort into biting me every chance it gets (or at least on a regular basis). Baby Savus are like baby carpets (and baby lots of other things, lol) - very attuned to movement, and as babies may strike frequently...but that doesn't mean they actually bite, lol. Baby carpets, they bite. Leave them alone for a little while, feed them, and they grow out of it in short order.
