Last night was feeding night for half my crew, Creamsicle my Cornsnake (getting to be a big boy), got a little over anxious I guess....
I have fed him by hand since I got him last March I believe. Went to take the top off his tank, usually he waits until I put the mouse in the tank and wiggle it around then he will come take it.
Nope not tonite, up and out the top before I realized what was going on.... But he missed the mouse and got my other hand instead
Usually his aim is flawless that's why I feed him by hand. I don't trust the Pythons aim, and the Boa is quick as lightning and hits like a freight train! So it's the tongs with them.
He did hit the mouse on the second shot, then was hanging out of the tank trying to eat it. My daughter came in and helped gently put him back in the tank and close it up
while I was one handed and bleeding from the otherLol
Pics of the damage..... Kind of hard to see but he did leave a small bruise, No ER trip required, I think I'll recover pretty quickly
Wonder if I can call out of work due to snake bite today?
