Yes and no. The only thing you will ever find predictable about keeping venomous snakes is that they are unpredictable. Once you ever start lumping behavioral characteristics into set rules, you put your and your animals lives in danger. On the rare occasions I have ever fed live, my copperheads strike and then run and hide and wait for it to die from as far away as they can get. I offered a live fuzzy mouse with eyes still closed the other day to a pyg so I could get an idea of venom potency. Nora and Brad were here. She followed it around and kept sniffing but never would touch it. She just seemed really currious of her new pet. So I took it out and gave her a f/t one later and she gobbled it up. Snakes are weird.
