Do reptiles become aggressive and attack only when disturbed?
We can't say for sure, but there's an unscientific experiment that can give you a clue:
In 1986, a 28-year-old male from India Neelim Kumar Khaire locked himself in a snake sanctuary.
The sanctuary contained 27 monocellate cobras, 24 Russell venomous snakes ( Russell's Viper ), nine binocellate cobras, eight banded kraits, and four common snakes.
Mind you, the Monocellate Cobra and Russell's Viper are snake species that have a neuro and hemotoxic venom that causes bleeding and death in about 20 and twenty minutes.
Neelim has had previous experiences with reptiles; he hates killing them, and when he catches any will always release them. He even had a small snake park in his backyard.
Because of his experience in handling snakes, he entered the snake cage and stayed 72 hours with nothing happening to him. He wasn't attacked by the reptiles.
He got a Guinness World Record for this.
This experiment and others like it suggests that snakes only become aggressive if provoked, placed in dangerous situations, or disturbed by humans.
