LOL! Wierd.

That sounds harsh! Get well soon! I use tongs or the chuck and duck method. LOL!

I know this is many years too late, however I'm really shocked you gave such a lovely, usually well tempered snake away that have such character all because you were stupid enough not to use tongs. I have a lovely hoggie who has hissed at me and hooded but once picked up is so calm. Not once have I never used tongs with any of my snakes and not once have I been bitten.
Please don't be telling people to be careful with this snake, you're more likely to be bitten by a corn or king snake (which are said to be beginner snakes) than a hog it's just if you do get bitten by a hog its possible you'll have an allergic reaction. They're lovely, lovely snakes nobody should be scared or put off. Just like any other snake, when feeding they may get a bit excited which is why tongs should always be used.
Like someone else mentioned here, I'm lead to believe that a bite from a hoggie develops depending on whether you are allergic to their venom. Seems you were unlucky. Please everyone use tongs when feeding, never become complacent.

All I can say is thank you for not blaming the snake and admitting it was your fault...but since you've admitted so, the snake shouldn't have been given up as, if you'd follow proper protocol it shouldn't happen again.

i do not think stupid is an appropriate word. mistakes are a good teacher, intelligent people like the OP learn from it, stupid people don't......

to my understanding, snake was given away because owner was scared. obvioulsy had an allergy to the venom, so tong or no tong, it is not safe to keep a snake that you are allergic to.
there's nothing wrong with giving up a snake as long as it goes to somebody who will provide it with proper care. beneficial to both owner and animal.

Let's look at this a litte further shall we. :pushes up glasses then puts on wizard hat and robe:

This thread is 7+ years old so let's say it is a level 7 thread.

Mephi has been on the forum for less than a year so let's say he is level 1.

So if Mephi is trying to turn undead at even level 1 on a D20, he would have to roll at least a 7 to beat the thread. Granted these are based on levels and not including other modifiers: wisdom score, level deficites, etc.

There are a few ways to kill a thread: 1. The combined effort of everyone to let it die which has been shown in numerous threads that peoples' wisdom scores go lower the more people chime in on a thread. So if Mephi wants to turn the thread, it would take a team effort and some pretty high wisdom. 2. A mod(which is uber high level) has the ability to smite a thread at any given moment, sending it off into the abyss. 3. Some toolbag such as myself makes a bad joke, crosses a line, or just doesn't let it die cause he/she thinks they can control the undead and wants attention. In which case, a mod comes along and smites people along with smiting the thread.

Have I successfully killed the joke which I enjoyed and may have ruined? :D sorry Mephi. :hug:
