Most will try to get some "wrap" on you, simply to get a grip on something and try to get away from your grasp. Closest encounter I ever had was with a big rattler, early in my snake catching, that very slowly got partial wraps onto my right arm as I held his head in my right hand, and as I was talking to someone. When he finally got enough "grip" he tried to snatch his head back out of my hand and almost succeeded. That would have gone ugly quick if he had succeeded.
