    Oh no!!! Did I hurt him???

    I'm panicking so bad!
    I've owned snakes for almost 3 years and today I made a really bad move. I was feeding everybody and my BP Mantra wasnt striking at his rat. I thought it was maybe because he was too close to the wall of the tub, so I made to scoot him back a little so he could strike. BAD MOVE! He NAILED my left hand--I've never had a bite that bad before! I freaked and ripped him off of me, and now I'm TERRIFIED that I hurt him! I'm going to check him tomorrow after he's digested some but right now I'm so worried--do you think he's ok? I hope I didn't hurt him! I didn't think at all about that.

    If none of his teeth got lodged in your hand that means that you didn't hurt him at all. If you're not used to being bit it can be shocking.

    nice bite! did the same think with my killer bee a little while ago, but he bit the tongs and wrapped i pulled him off but he broke 3 teeth into the tongs. I am going to keep an eye on him if no swelling then he will be fine.
