Their teeth hurt!!!
Glad you fared well and were able to get pictures... also sounds like she was lucky and didn't have to lose any teeth which is always a good thing.
Also just want to compliment you, if I haven't yet, she is a beautiful lil tic.

Nice...and Ouch.
I disagree, you weren't lucky, if you were you wouldn't have been bitten (so in a cense neither of us were lucky :D), just very responsible (which is actually better, in a way.) You had someone there to assist you and you did what one should do in that situation.
Not too long ago, a woman died from her 8 foot retic, because she was alone, and didn't know what to do.

lol, The first thing that came to mind when I was trying to remove her was "You lil...gasp..Get the camera!"

Thanks

Beautiful retic, I want one but I want a dwarf species, just need to find one alot cheaper then what I seen. I would like to find one about $150 or less. I'm lucky so far, i've only been bitten once and it was by my yellow annie when i FIRST got her in, right when i was unpacking the box, and untied the sack to make sure she was ok, when I stuck my hand in the sack(human error) I pulled out a bloody thumb(which I was amazed because she was only like 15 days old. So then I just got the back of the sack and slid her onto the palm of my hand which she got my pointing finger then. So I put her in her tank and left her alone for a week, then I handled her again and shes been a sweet heart since. She's almost 6 months now, so I would hope not to get bit again esp once shes bigger.

On the other hand, I Have a 07 White Lip Python(shes about 3-3 1/2 foot) I held her when she FIRST came in and she didnt bite me, which I was really hoping she wouldn't.
