don't try this at home

I'm sure all the veterans will laugh at me....

Yesterday I fed Niobi the same as always: take all the hides/water bowl/tree limb out of her enclosure, drop in the dinner, watch her eat, then proceed to carefully place all her furniture back. First I put back the hide she was under, putting it over her so she will feel safe and hidden, then in goes everything else. Somewhere between replacing her water and hides, she got me!! First bite I've had. She's usually such a sweet thing, I never saw it coming. :stupidme:

Welcome to the club :carrot:

It was probably due to feeding. I've been bitten b4 cuz im stupid and put my hand in when she was about to eat. :confused:

Haha yeah, don't take the stuff out next time, the snake will be fine and so will you! :D

i love when they bite!

Yeah, and how'd it feel?

I did! :P

Next time, leave everything in her enclosure, she'll feel safer hunting from the security of her hides, and you won't have to disturb her at all after she's done eating!

Didn't hurt, mostly just surprised the heck out of me. Then again, she's pretty small now. I don't think I'd want to get bit when she's bigger.

He its great ain't it. We call those SFE "stupid Feeding error"

I take Madussa out of her aquariu and feed her in a plastic tub. After that I wait about 2 hours and put her back in her home. This gets rid of the confusion of me sticking my hand in her aquarium and getting bit. and I do not have to take anything out of her aquarium.
