    Error on my part? Ouch

    So I went to pick up my new female gunmetal blue anery boa (I know not a BP but boas isn't visited very often and I want more opinions) that I just took out of quarantine last week. I was doing some cleaning when I went to take her out of her cage. I rubbed her a bit to let her know I was there and as I was taking her out, BAM struck and held on for 30 seconds. Did I do something wrong!?


    The culprit


    My first snake bite btw so I was pretty excited.. That's not weird is it? Lol

    Dude I was totally giddy when I got tagged the first time. Given, that was just a BP juvi, and that is one big boa! How's it feel?

    Boas actually does get lots of visits. . Is it near feed day? One of mine gets really excited the day before feed day. Or did you smell like rodent?
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    Poop. I was holding the cutest little rat fuzzies earlier.. Didn't even cross my mind. But I was like petting her for a minute but when I tried to pull her out is when she got me. While it was like holding onto my hand I was like Julia! (Girlfriend/partner) and she said "are you okay?" I said "what are you doing?! Take a picture of it holding onto me! We can worry about me later!" Hahah

    Smelled like food this time. I keep sanitizer on top of my rack and I always use before and after handling/feeding/cleaning so that I always smell the same and definitely not like food. Lol
