Just when you get lax... a snake tries to bite you in the face. :)

I have plans of boas and retics... I know when the time comes the reflex will turn to... "ok, so there is a snake attached to my *insert appendage here* now how do I get help and remove said snake calmly?

:)

when i had my retic it tried to bite my face man i caught it inches away and that snake didnt last long around here after that.

:rofl: that's pretty much what I did when I got bit....after the panick subsided, I was very anxious to find out how to get the 15 Ft retic's mouth off my leg and fast...and wasn't getting much help from my buddy who couldn't stop laughing.

I reach in, take her in hand... hold her up the light... and am kind of turning her around in my hand trying to get a better look at her chin.

Suddenly in slow motion... she darts out and I can see it like a bad Matrix remake. Full open 180 degree open face coming at me, I pull a Keanu and turn just enough and she just grazes me.

Had I not moved she would have hit me right between the eyes.

Of course as it is happening I am completley calm. I do not react, I do not drop her, I am the poster child of preparedness... then I put her down, leave the room, and go to light a smoke and what do you know...

... my hands are shaking. :)

Amazing the reflexes we develop isn't it?

Hahahahaha! So - what was on her chin? :P

heh... I actually am not sure. Almost my blood. :)

We are going to have another look tonight when I change out her tub. I think it is newsprint... but it could just be "BRUCE BAIT!!!".

:rofl:

You should see me and my matrix moves ;)

I have a sick sense of humor... I dunno what it is about someone getting bit but I die laughing everytime.. I swear Karma is going to haunt me one of these days.lol
