Um...I can only speak for myself, though I have a feeling most others are the same, but I've NEVER purposefully tried to get bitten. The 'bite club' is just a fun little way of dealing with the unexpected bite. I know I was pretty scared of getting bitten in the beginning, but now that I've been bitten more times than I can count, I know it's nothing to fret over.

Obviously I'm aware of the dangers that a bite can pose for the snake, as I'm sure everyone who's researched their animal is. For the record, I always use tongs, but sometimes a bite is inevitable.
