Your Close Calls With Almost Getting Bit?

I take it he's not a snake person. Interesting how non-snake people don't like to see a snake strike at anything, much less at them.

I've been bitten by kingsnakes and six foot boas, and partially swallowed by a shoestring of a corn snake who tried to eat my pinky finger. I've been struck at by a fifteen foot Burmese which belonged to a buddy of mine - it took her a few seconds to extract her teeth from the doorjamb, and half-full was suddenly "good enough" for her water bowl, LOL!

Just this evening, while cleaning tubs, my albino blood - still something of a youngster - took a couple of pops at my face. It's a good thing he missed, 'cause all I could see outta the corner of my eye was teeth and tonsils!

Kinda made me laugh. Also made me glad I don't keep hots.

He loves my snakes though. And he wasn't mad about it. He was just annoyed that I was laughing at him. But for whatever reason if i'm holding killer, he doesn't like my boyfriend.. I'm not really sure why. killer doesn't mind when he holds him.

Only my Pastel Lesser struck at me...Calmed him down after a day or two of handling...

Now that I've been bitten by the TIC ADDICTION BUG...I understand the phrase, "know your tic and watch the eyes"...3 out of 4 are good, but my SD Normal strikes at me every time...Wild little cuss, but the prettiest normal I've seen in awhile...

My Beardie has bit me twice but I think she smelled food on my hands.
My tarantula usually rears up but she's never bit anyone yet.
I got bit by one of the Leopard Geckos...it was shacking its head back and forth and everything.
Deja struck at me but just smacked her nose against me.
Got bit by a fuzzy rat earlier today, it was the funniest thing ever...next to the loepard gecko bite...
My tegu tried to eat my feet earlier tonight, signaling it was time for food or my socks just looked really interesting (neon pink and green polka dots).

Other than those I haven't had mishaps...oh, Deja decided she was going through my beltloop while I was holding her, she got two feet through and then decided I was doing something to keep her from going through and acted like she was going to strike at me, we had to cut her out...why couldn't I wear my crappy pants that day. Cut the rest of the belt loops off of those pants. Then while I was getting her out of the car she tried to go down into the seat belt holder thing (actually going down into the frame of the truck so there's a hole there), when I pulled her head out she whipped around and took a swipe at my neck.
