    Was bound to happen sooner or later

    First retic bite. Was peeling some shed off my tiger and she gave my arm a look. I knew I was screwed, so I went to tap her head to let her know I'm not feeding her and then she grabbed onto my hand and began to constrict. Had both my hands handcuffed for about 10 seconds. When she let go, about 20 seconds after biting, she was the typical sweet snake I always take out of her cage. It was a food response, she picked up the scent of the rats outside of the room. Bite alone didn't really hurt, it hurts more after cleaning it and what not.

    Anyway...


    After cleaning it


    Tiger. This picture no way shows off her true colors. Darkened her up completely. Time to thaw out a rat for her now.


    And just thought I'd throw in some pics of my purple after shedding

    Rather be bit by one of them than by my ball pythons. At least they already have a reputation of being bitey. Though this is my first retic bite in a minimum of two years keeping. And I've probably been bit 50+ times by balls.

    Re: Was bound to happen sooner or later

    Our bites are kind of like a badge of the hobby. Haha. Its not really a matter of if it will happen but when. The thing is, its usually our fault. Mine have come from smelling like a rat and grabbing my SD for a cleaning only a few days after a big meal. The actual bite never hurts, its the aftermath. I dont think many people really understand that. Its kind of like a shot.

    But beautiful snakes.
