Doing anything different than normal when working with a hungry boa is a bad idea...

I got my first boa bite about 20 minutes ago by making a very stupid mistake. I didn't use hand sanitizer before reaching in as I always do and instead of just lifting the hide as I always do I paused for some reason, which was when she bit me. Yeah, I feel pretty stupid right now.

I feel bad for my thumb. I burnt it yesterday on a soldering iron and now I got a snake bite on top of that.
