Got my first snake bite today!

Sooner or later I will be posting the pic of my pinstripe biting me. I am too fast so far. He is the only nippy one I have....other than my GTP.

I got bitten by a BP in a petco and i dont even know if I am going to qualify it as my first bite, the guy who took him out handled him poorly and ripped him away from the group and just plain pissed it off, it did draw blood but I am going to say I have yet to get my first bite, I only count it when it is one of my babies that tags me.

My little BP almost got me my first today. I hadn't handeled him in over a week because of a vacation (He was fed, don't worry ;) Just not handeled.) And I reached right in to scoop him up and his head jerked right up, mouth halfway open, and his tongue darting out. He thought I was a mouse, but quickly settled down and I scooped him out. Right now he's hanging on my arm, sweet as always. XD

Of course I'll have to agree with everyone else...I'd MUCH rather be bitten by a snake than a mouse/rat. I feel really bad when snakes get fed live rodents and get bit. I know how much that can suck.

The only time I've ever been bit by a snake though was a sad story...Wasn't even mine. I was at a petsmart and was waiting around for my bf to get stuff for his beardies...so I went to look at the snakes. They had a cool looking apricot milksnake and I got to hold it....Unfortunatly, the manager at that PetsMart was TERRIFIED of ALL REPTILES and decided he wasn't gonna feed them. The snake bit me after a month without food and I can't blame him. Didn't hurt at all though; he was still a really small snake. The manager had to take him back and give him food after that...threw a cold mouse (they only give their snakes f/t, but it wasn't even warm...) in with the snake and he still ate it cold. I felt SOOOO bad for all the little reptiles there...

AND I heard ASF's will bite worst than a regular bite.. UGH!

Hey Stephanie I candled all the eggs they look good so far.
