Mine drew a bit of blood, but it really doesn't hurt at all. Flicking your cheek with your pinky hurts more, but my snake is small and young (~300g >2ft long)

I'm much more sad that I did something "bad" or at least "not right" that would spook her and cause her to lash out at me. I feel like I'm a bad keeper now :[

Its hard for me to tell them it doesn't hurt when I have never been tagged myself lol. I have a baby boa that rears back at me every time I'm in the cage, but hasn't struck. I assume its coming, I just wish the first nip would happen already so I don't dread it so much lol.
