Crimson Blade, you are so cool. It's awesome that you've handled so many snakes. I'd love to pick your brain about it.
Anyway, I have encountered way too many snakes in the wild -- they scare the holy crap outta me every time. But, my curiosity cannot be contained, and if they were in a box, I'd be really darned curious. Yeah, I would have opened it -- one way or another.
And Stormy, if you've ever seen someone laid up in ICU after having a close encounter with an angry Timber Rattler (3 bites before he could get away), you'd have thunk differently. Rattlers are unforgiving. With a lot of fixed-fang snakes, especially the groove-fanged and rear-fanged ones, you can get lucky -- about 50% of bites are "blank bites" with no venom transferred. But, with the folding fanged Rattlers, most bites are true.
