When your retic finds rat scented cardboard..

[Sauzo]

Well Caesar was out and found cardboard used to feed Rosey. He went crazy and when I reached over to get him off the cage top he thought my arm was a rat until he bit into. Once he tasted me, he let go but before leaving a nice wound. It bled all over and bruised up nicely.

I'm glad you "got away" lol... poor snake, teasing him with your arm like that.

The worst part was after 'sampling' my arm and finding it wasnt dinner, he went on the hunt for where this rat went. He went down to the freezer and then to the floor. I had to grab my hook while trying not to leave a blood river where ever i went and guide Caesar back into his cage. His fat behind bent the snake hook too when i tried to help lift him into his cage haha. This morning, he was all fine and greeted me at the front of the cage for petting and sat on my other arm like nothing happened.....proof that no matter how 'friendly' your snake is, when they smell food, their brain turns off lol. Kind of like me with bacon

Haha, so true. One of my friendliest snakes ever, one that can chill in my little kids laps, once bit my hand because I reached into the enclosure a bit too far with a heated thawed rat on the tongs! Apparently my thumb was a more attractive heat signature than the thawed rat, as she grabbed my thumb for a split second and instantly realized it was me and let go. She quickly recovered and grabbed the rat, but it made me realize that although she loves me, when there is rodents odor in the air, All bets are off!

Nice bruise! I have yet to be bitten by any of my snakes...do i even count as a real snake keeper?
Sonny did scare me pretty bad once though, was feeding him in the boaphile (fairly recently) and he got a bit over-zealous about ambushing the rat and came shooting out before i could really react. He didnt get me but it definitely caught me off guard.

Don't worry, you'll get there...

Sounds like it got a little messy & wow, even bent the hook!?

It's also a bit like my dog, who resembles the dog in the kid's movie, "Up"- "SQUIRREL!!!!!!!" It's not just snakes...

Trying to figure out the angle... but cant. Looks like the bruise is from one side of his mouth as the teeth/mouth pattern is much wider. Glad it was quick and not a fiasco Bro!!!!

Lol yeah, i was looking at it and trying to figure out how he got me too but i cant. All i saw was him spin around and then it was 'OMG, I'm going to be in the newspaper as one of those statistics". Then it was over and he was off back to the cardboard and heading down the side of the cage stack towards the freezer.
