Wowww..... I was so surprised..

I had thawed a small rat, did the zombie dance to get her to eat...

After a few minutes, the rat is still chililng there, so I proceed to reheat the bowl of water, warm up the rat again, and feed it again.

A few minutes later, it's not eaten. She's crawling around, and I grab her from behind and she turns around and latches onto me like I was prey. Her entire body starts coiling around my wrist like I was food.

I'm like omfg she bit me. The emotional pain is staggering, and instinctually, I start to try to unwrap her. After a few seconds and seeing how difficult it might be, I then remembered reading in the BP forums <3 that alcohol is a harmless way of getting a snake off.

I just got laid off Friday, so I don't have a camera phone with which to take a picture of the bite.


I'm really sad she bit me :*(

It's just a reminder that while we can love our snakes as much as we can (kind of like psychotic crazy ex gfs), do our best to provide food and contentment for them, they are still snakes and not on the same level of domesticated dogs :*(*
