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.
Sorry if that was worded a little funny... I know that no one tries to be bitten. And I know that bites are definitely inevitable! I wasn't feeding or anything when my Ball Python got me. I forgot who, but for example; someone was saying how they dropped a mouse, and got bitten picking it back up. Could've been avoided (easily). I was only suggesting tongs for people who are new, and feed by hand! Sorry if I offended any members!
