well this is more or less just a funny story one of my friends has a approx 10ft argentinian and i was holding it the other day and another of my friends decided it would be a good idea to get face to face with the snake ( he was obviously quite intoxicated at this point) when quicker than anyone could react the snake struck out and tagged him right on the face it was hillarious to see i had my hand about a foot from the snakes head and the rest of his body was coiled around my arm and the look on my buddies face was priceless he was by the way relatively unharmed just some pretty deep pin pricks and some blood
