Was feeding my hog island (hes like 5'10") hes in his t8 against the back wall, I put the (fk) rat in with 12" tongs and he goes beyond the rat about 18" and tags me. Naturally I pulled back, bringing him about a foot out of the cage in the process. Thankfully no teeth were lost in the process and I had a broom to use to gently coerce him back into his cage. He hasnt had a feeding response like this since I rescued him 6 months ago. Guess its that time of year!
This is my first bite from my snakes (unless you count my pissy little corn when he was a baby and didnt even break the skin) only other time ive been tagged was by a 3 foot albino burm in the pet store.
Anyway, I know you all love pictures so here ya go!
Most of the blood where the actual bite was rolled down onto my palm which is why I dont have a pic of the top of my hand.
Didnt really hurt (im a mechanic so my hands get abused daily) and I have minor swelling. I mayyyyyyyyy have screamed like a girl when it happened, cant confirm that though ;]
