Welcome to bite club, my friend.
I joined a few months ago myself. My littlest BP was hungry and struck when I tried to get her out of the tank, and let go immediately.
I've been bitten by mice, scratched by a cat, and bitten by a dog. All hurt like heck and scarred over (still have the scars!).
The BP bite? Didn't hurt at all, in fact I laughed, and healed over completely in 5 minutes.
But some of the vets in my area won't see snakes because they're afraid of getting bitten--though they'll see all the ornery, mean kittens in the world.
