Finally happened, and of course is my dumb mistake while feeding. Gimel was totally sighted in on the rat, like a second away from striking, when i thought, "Hey I'd better move that hide behind her so she can get a good wrap."
Well she swung around 180 and tagged me so quick i couldn't believe it! Despite myself i did pull away a bit, though not too much, and she released almost immediately and then grabbed the rat a few seconds later. It smarted, but she is a tiny snake, i'm glad i learned my lesson now.
