So I was feeding my balls mice and after washing my hands noticed my red tail had made a mess of her cage and shed. She has been very well behaved since I brought her home and have no problems handling her so I didn't even think twice about reaching in to clean it up. My hand was no sooner in her cage than she bit my middle finger on my left hand pretty darn good. It startled me more than hurt though it didn't feel good for certain lol. My finger bled like a stuck pig and instantly swelled up 2x the size of normal and is now turning blue. My fault for sticking my hand into the cage of a hungry snake while smelling of mice but that really doesn't make it any more pleasant lol
