What a coincidence. I logged in to post the same thread. Well almost. My 10 year old son got tagged by the male pied we got bout two months ago. He was holding him and moved his hand in front of OZZY to scratch his arm and got tagged. There was a little blood. My son looked at me and laughed. Said it didn't hurt and said now he won't afraid If he strikes. We're working on getting the snake used to being handled in small doses. Didn't mean to hijack the thread
