Well, it's not a fear exactly, but I sure do hate it. I've been bitten 5 times, and in all of those 5 times, I gasp and pull back my hand as fast as I can. All times I have been bitten, never once had it been painful. The most pain I got out of it was feeling similar to a quick pinch. And strangely, the bites have been on both of my index fingers on both hands and no where else. How can I not become scared of being bitten? I don't want to gasp, or anything, I just want to know how to control that. I see in MANY videos people are calm when they get bitten.. so I'm jealous of that lol. I have a mean King snake and he always tries to bite me. He's bitten me 3 times. I'm calm when he strikes at me.. but I'm not calm when one of my other snakes strike at a food item, so I jump a little. So, what do I do? I feel so weak lol.
