Maybe its just a puncture. 
Snakes hiss, its just what they do, its their only vocal ability. Its your early warning siren, its doesn't tell you the whole story but its just letting you know there is a story for you to work out. Duke has hissed at me a few times, I've worked out that he hisses if you grab him too far down his body when he is in the vivarium but not if he is out, he also hisses when he is shedding (though not always depends on his mood), it takes a little bit of time to work out what's what but that's part of the fun. |
