Have you ever been tagged by your snake?
I've been bit once or twice by monty, but recently I've been having dreams that she has been biting my hand every time I reach in to get her. I'm not afraid of her by any stretch. I won't lie, before she got me the first time I was terrified of being bit, but it's no worse than a tattoo or piercing. But now that it's happened, I'm not worried.
If you've never been bit by a ball python, are you afraid of your first time? I mean, it's bound to happen eventually.
