I've gotten splinters that hurt longer and worse than getting bite by any of my snakes..even some of the bigger ones.. Even burning the roof of your mouth on pizza is worse and worse for longer

Reaction to getting a bite: 8
Actual bite: 1
It's a bit of an adrenalin rush when a snake strikes out at you and bites, but the bite itself isn't really anything to worry about. I get more damaging bites playing with my dog.

Bingo...:gj::gj::gj: I'd rather get blindsided than get struck at..Funny how that works isn't it.. there's something about the strike that bothers me more than the bite..even in little ones

-Tattoos and piercings hurt worse.
-Wasp and bee stings hurt worse.
-Cutting your fingernail or toenail into the quick hurts worse.
-Biting your tongue hurts worse.
-A sunburn hurts worse.
-Puppy teeth and cat claws hurt worse.
-I'll surely take a snake bite any day over a rat bite. Rodents can cut to the bone.
-I'll even take a snake bite over getting sprayed by a skunk...

0.5 is about all I'd give it. Once in a while I might get tagged on a knuckle or get a papercut type wound right on the cuticle and it stings. Half the time I have to wait to see if there's blood to see if I can count it as a bite or not. Baby BPs are hysterical when they try to kill you. They look so serious about it.
Now.. the blackthroat monitors I've avoided getting bitten by.. I like keeping all ten fingers.

Re: Getting bit
Another thing is where you get bit at, my female bp just struck for the first time we've had her. Worst part about it wasn't the bite, more of that she got me right by the cutical and on the 2nd joint. We're both fine, I'm bloody and shook up a bit... her on the other hand is put into a tub until I'm done cleaning.
Fyi This happned like 5 mins ago and I can't stop shaking lmao I'm more nervous of picking her up again than I would be getting bucked off a horse and getting back on.
