Re: Lapse in judgment (not for the squeamish)
Damn! That made me cringe, and blood does not usually bother me. But ouch, that definately left a mark! These things are bound to happen though.. I hope that you aren't in much pain!

Kara was impressive beyond imagination! She didn't even raise her voice, much less flinch. Not a squeak or OUCH! or anything beyond 'that hurts' *said in a conversational tone*.
I complain way worse when I get a freaking shot from the doctor. :rolleyes:

Yeah...we had to have a little chit-chat along the lines of, "Hon, if the snake is so big that I have to send someone to get you for help, just come over. Don't ask questions. If I need you to get involved, it's big enough!!!!" :rolleyes:
At first he tried biting the snake to see if it would let go...after all, it worked on getting a similar-sized retic out of our rafters last year (but that's another story entirely...). Of course, this just caused the snake to bite harder, and I was like, "Ok, that hurts...time to try something else." Fortunately his idea of holding the snake's nose against the floor & applying steady, firm pressure convinced her that letting go would be a good thing.
So! Some entertainment for the girls, and a good reminder not to let my guard down when playing with the big stuff...not to mention a nice little war wound. :)

thats a pretty decent bite. lemme see if i can find the pics of where my 18 ft burm nailed me in the ribs. that was bad b/c it had to be ripped off me after it was uncoiled. i also have one of a 20 ft retic bite too. that one was BAD!!! lemme see if i can locate em.

I suppose I will have to come over and let it bite me on the behind.
or better yet, let the Golden Child bite me....then the question would be: "well, if the snake is worth more than the person, should we just turn off the lights and let nature take it's course?"
