Don't worry, the snake wasn't biting you to be mean or anything like that, so don't let it hurt your feelings, it was just instinct--there was rat smell in the air, suddenly something warm(alive) grabs them from behind... Smells like rat, and hot like a live rat...it's almost certain to bite because in that instant your hand looked just like food! Same reason why you need to be careful feeding horses and dogs, they might end up biting because they are after the food!

There won't be any hard feelings later, I'm almost certain this will be an isolated event. Just don't grab the snake when it's ready to eat, and pay attention to it's warning signs! Now you know what not to do, aren't snakes helpful teachers like that? lol!

The nice thing about snakes not being on the same level is dogs is they are easier to understand. Almost like effective machines, it's cool to watch their response to different stimuli. You don't always get that with dogs or cats, they have too much going on, that's why there are so many BAD dog bites, because you can't always know when or why it will bite, it could be completely unknown! That can happen with snakes too, but usually you can see the reason it happened!


It's still your same snake! Take care of your bite and don't worry about it too much
