As the serpent was not used to kindness from humans, it doubted their intentions but the team were eventually able to show that they genuinely cared for the serpent's well being, and it eventually allowed them to heal it. Otherwise known as, "sweet-hearted specialists saved some sadly suspicious serpents."
