Yes i've clearly shown myself to be the ignorant one of the two of us.

Your excuses are laughable and they only further highlight your own ignorance on snake husbandry in general, if you can't handle even the nastiest of royals without getting bitten you're doing something wrong. Interacting with a snake during feeding is wrong for so many reasons (high up there would be this is exactly how you get bitten!)

I'll leave it at that, I could go on but your own responses will have said enough for most of the knowledgeable and responsible keepers on here so there's not much point.
