In my 39 years of dealing with snakes both wild and captive I've been bitten at least 75 times by snakes ranging from a small garter to fairly large pythons. I've only been bitten on the face once by my own Eunectes notaeus, stupid mistake on my part, and all of the rest of the bites have been on my arms and hands. I don't use hooks and I don't restrain snakes by the neck so I get bitten occasionally. Getting pooped on, IMHO, is far worse than 99% of non-venomous snakebites.
