Learn from my mistake. I am far from careless when it comes to my snakes. I love them, they are my prized possesions. I'd sell everything I have, even my car before I sold off my collection and I've less than 10 snakes. So believe me when I say I am very good with collection. Except this one time I was negligent and it bit me in the ass.
I cannot stress how important it is to keep a close on your snakes when feeding live. This is something no keeper should have to go through, much much MUCH less the poor snake. I cannot stop opening the tub to check out his wounds. I'm still in schock.
