How did that tiny little bit leave that mark? What do you have, tissue paper skin? :rofl:

I'm thick skinned! I'm telling you she's evil! It does indeed feel good to get it out of the way. Almost 2 years with no incidents....gotta start over now.

First bite!
My wife just got bit tonight, it was not by a python of any sort though....
Just got a new female spider (165 g) who was super scared and stressed after the flight and snapped at me more than a half dozen times from inside her new enclosure (nailed the glass a few times), yet was great when I held her last night and this morning. I have another normal female who has never even been in a strike position except at feeding.
Haven't been tagged yet and I have a huge startle reflex that I have a hard time controlling so I appreciate everyone's experiences as this helps knowing that a tag isn't as bad as my mind is making it out to be. I know a tag here and there is just part of these beautiful animals...It's that first one that pops my cherry that I just need to get through...

Balophile - it's pretty normal to have strong reflexes to NOT get bit. I had heard hundreds of times and still had strong reflexes to not get bit lol.
