    teeth make an ouch much like getting an injection at the doctor...it's over before you know it & heals fast, rarely ever getting infected, even without treatment.

    But a bite won't endear a snake to family members that are at all afraid of snakes...so bites are best avoided for them. To be successful in handling snakes, you need to
    be able to relax, & fear just works against you. I'm not saying that snakes "smell fear" or any such thing...I just know from my own experience that trust is a 2-way street.
    I don’t think I will mind being bit, I definitely don’t fear it like I would with a big constrictor or a venomous snake. My wife is the toughest woman I’ve ever met so though I don’t want her to get bit, if she did she would shrug that off so quick. I think sometimes she has a higher pain tolerance than me lol

    Most women do deal with pain better than men... (we don't have a choice) and for anyone (man or woman) who has ever done a
    little hand-sewing & poked their finger with a needle or a pin, they already "know" what snake teeth feel like. Not the end of the world.

    Sorry to butt in, but I've also been researching rubber boas - I've got one myself, but have been struggling to find a second (as I want a pair to breed them down the road). Would you mind sharing the info for that seller? I've found breeders insanely hard to find, outside of Zerkle Reptiles (where I got my first one)!

    I haven't seen "Newman" around much these days- you might have better luck with a PM to him?

    Try checking in with Mike Schultz over at RL Exotics. He had some at the Schaumberg show this past weekend. Not sure he has any left but you might get lucky

    Good to know! I just did that I'm pretty clumsy and new on these forums, so the advice was much appreciated!

    Sweet! Ironically, I think I saw a photo of their snakes (because I remember the show name), but couldn't for the life of me find out who the seller was until now! So this is wonderful, thank you.
