Bite Club: The little ones always get you!
Had the opportunity to work with a great variety or snakes this weekend including Northern Pines, Dumerils, Salmon and Red Tail Boas, Irian Jaya x Jungle Carpets, Everglades Rats, Apricot Milks, Ball Pythons, Macklots Pythons and more... and the smallest of them all decided to give me a nip when showing him to a customer!
I didn't get to grab a picture while being 'attacked' ;) but here is the "AFTERMATH". I was quite surprised at the amount of blood a young Irian Jaya x Jungle carpet could draw. Does anyone on the board keep these animals? They are stunning!
The rest of the redness is courtesy of a very nice and docile Caiman Lizard, we had her out quite a bit during the CRBE for people to see and so that we can educate future herpers on the complexity of care requirements for specific animals!

Nice bites. I know 3skulls keeps and breeds JCPs and they are on my wish list. I got to handle a baby JCP a couple months ago. The little ****ens bit me 6 times and struck at my face 2ice. I wanted to take her home so bad.

Don't feel bad, I held two baby enchi females and they both were striking at me.

Yup, they can be pretty flighty! This little one got me twice, had 4 at the show but only 1 was a biter.
