    Why do you want to encourage her to bite you? If she hasn't before, it'll probably cause a bit of stress to get her to do it, even if she is in shed.

    No not because it hurts or actually because of you at all. It is possible that you will instinctively react (you are only human after all) and jerk your hand away. It is also possible to break or pull out one or more of her teeth. It is going to happen sooner or later a snake will bite you I see no good reason to risk an injury to an animal with no good cause, curiosity is not a good enough reason. She may not bite as well all you will do is cause her stress by the attempt, again, it is bad for your snake and what is gained by it? nothing.

    Re: Never been bit

    Why in the world would you want to entice the snake to bite you? It will happen one day soon, you are a snake keeper!

    Keep snakes long enough and you're gonna' get bit sooner or later. No need to rush the inevitable...

    If you're asking that question... I think you deserve to get bit...
