This makes me almost re think on getting my red tail soon. Almost 3 years with snakes and I haven't been tagged once. I've gotten close but I'm like lightning.Originally Posted by xFenrir
Yikes! That looks pretty painful. My boyfriends' taken all the tags so far.I ALMOST got tagged one day when I was feeding my girl. I accidentally dropped the rat (the tongs I was using were WAY too small) and made the stupid choice to try and pick it back up. As soon as I started lifting it she shot for it, missed, bounced off my hand (grazing me with her teeth) and latched on to a pair of pajama pants that were on the floor (she was being kept in our bedroom at the time). We had to wait for her to let those go before we could try feeding her again. xD
But so far, no real tags.I'm not looking forward to the day I do get tagged, because she's edging the ~15 pound end of the scale and is at least 6ft. So it's gonna hurt when it happens.
I was terrified of snakes 3 years ago and the first snake I held and wanted was a baby red tail, I then decided to get a smaller constrictor to work with until I worked my way up to a boa. I know I'm ready now im not scared at all but that adrenaline rush of never getting tagged is still there till it happens.
