Could use some opinions

Any snake will bite and that probably won't be the only time it happens. Just explain to her that anything will bite even a duck. Just help her anyway you can to get over the fear factor and if that doesn't work take the snake before someone else that may not take good care of it gets it.

I am working with her she has been handling one of my snakes that also has never struck as of now anyway but I think she is realizing it wasn't a act of aggression just one of those things that happen sometimes.
She will come around I am sure but that snake will either go back to her or to me either way it will be taken care off.

My bumblebee tries to bite me all the time. You DEFIANTLY don't see me selling him. I freaking love him and his feisty personality.

Yah both of my bumblebees have a feisty personality but than when I got snakes and that held true for my Burmese especially I knew what I got myself into.
I didn't get snakes to cuddle with I have them because I think there really cool and I love having them and when they do something to defend themselves or just are in a bad mood I don't blame them.
I just pay attention to there body language they tell you what there going to do

This happens a lot with red tails, I gather, they bite and suddenly the owner is afraid of the pet.

I got chewed on a lot by my first baby ball python. Not a great first snake in some ways, but when I finally got my first good good latch-and-wrap bite from a friend's adult ball python, it didn't really phase me. But my poor friend! Her snake didn't even bite her, and you could tell she was still pretty freaked out a month or two later.

Was this a latch-and-wrap? Or just a painful feeding-type strike, but the snake let go immediately?

From the way she described what happened it sounds like a mistaken identity strike the snake felt something warm and went for it.
That is my thought because she let go immediately.
It just seems some people have a hard time the only snake bites that got my attention where my Burmese I had one that got me that required 3 stitches still didn't give up on her.
But I did finally get tired of the having to have 2 people to deal with them so I found them better homes.

Would she get rid of a puppy because he has an accident on the carpet?

This is a wild animal and this is something that should be expected sooner or later, if she cannot accept that then I believe the best thing would be to re-home the animal. If she is scared because of one bite she will likely be very nervous/scared when comes the time to feed him and clean his cage and ultimately the animal will suffer because of it.

Like I said right now I have her she is working on herself to get past what was to me a very minor thing I have a lot of young snakes that strike a lot no big deal to me.
But than I did get into this knowing and understanding I didn't get a kitten or puppy and I didn't want that either.
This snake will never be neglected because if she cant handle herself with the snake the snake will stay with me.
