Wallace and I had some fun last night.
Let me set the scene. I decided to take him out for a little frolic with the family, I confidentially reached into his cage, grabbed him mid body and,,,,
He passed on a little holiday cheer. He's about 4 feet long and not at all a concern.
He spends a lot of his days and nights up here.
He started to move away, which is normal, got around the back side of his hide and then up a branch. I was working to get him out and he musked on me, twice LOL! Finally he decided I was quite a bother and he snapped. He actually got two fingers which was surprising so I'm guessing his mouth was wide open. No pain, just a touch itchy for 5 minutes.
I cleaned up and we spent the next 40 minutes hanging out watching TV.
3 of our 4 snakes have left their marks on me.
With the exception of the coastal carpet, who used to strike a few times each handling session for the first 2 weeks here, none have ever bitten me again after the first pop.
Wallace is actually great to handle and isn't head shy in the slightest, we just had a misunderstanding last night.
Today he was right back where I usually find him overlooking his little territory.
