My first bite!

[Christina]

Well, today it happened! At work I was holding a Mexican Black King snake and he seemed really chill. I looked away while he was on my hand and the next thing I know, there's a snake gripping my left ring finger! It was very exciting! My boss had to get the business cards out to pry him off. That was the crazy part. He didn't want to let go! He wrapped himself around his neck as we pulled him off. What a great day! In all reality, the bite wasn't all that bad, and I know plenty of people have had way, way, way worse. But you have to start somewhere right? So exciting! Here's the pics:

HAHA not laughing at you just the situation. he's just thinking....why not?

Mexican Blacks are the ones to sure do it, they have crazy feeding responses. They always seem to be looking for food, mine does however even if he ate the day before.

Yeah exactly! He's actually pretty mellow. And I wasn't even considering it since he ate Wednesday.

I got bit the other day by an eastern king. I'm glad I decided to put the gloves on that time.
