Ow, that hurt. :/

agreed.

I have been lucky enough to not have been bit yet. (knock on wood) but I know you are not supposed to jerk back. How do you do that? It seems to me you would jerk back before even realizing what just happened.

There was an Untamed and Uncut video where a Boa bite the owner in the face and when he jerked back it broke off her teeth and she never ate again and died. I felt bad for the owner who jerked back instinctively and morns her. It is always the thing that sticks in my mind when it comes to snake bites.

My "worst" bite involved a tooth too. It was just a corn snake bite that I washed and put an antibiotic on. Over the next few days it started swelling and burning. I took a closer look and noticed something hard in one of the larger cuts. Sure enough, there was a tooth in there. Tiny little thing, but that was worse then any of my bites by significantly larger snakes.
