BITE. CLUB. Hola!

[NH93]

I don't know where the actual "club" is (there should really be a section! If there is and I couldn't find it, well, that's embarrassing). I was officially initiated months ago by my corn snake many a time. But I digress.

I was cleaning my snake's tanks today. I was going about it as a normally do, where I gradually take their decor out and start soaking it, eventually leaving behind one hide (whatever one they're in), and then remove them and hand them to my partner for the rest.
Here's what I *think* happened:

I started removing things from Beau's tank, and he heard the rustling and came out to investigate, as he normally does. I had vinegar water on my hands, I didn't see him behind some fake plants and a large log, and all of a sudden a felt a prick and saw him pull back. I noticed water on his head, so I must have dripped it on him - either that, or he got some on him himself when he bit me.
I was also going back and forth between his tank and my corn snake's tank, so I'm sure her smell was on me.
He didn't do it again, and I can't really say that it bled... I was just kind of shocked. He's never struck at anyone before, not even the breeder I got him from (apparently).






Clearly, I am going to live.


He's about 7 months old, and I've had him for 5.
I think I just got careless, because he's never done that before. I also forgot that he's not like my corn snake, where when she hears rustling she hides. He investigates and wants to know what's up. I feel pretty silly for that


Do you guys ever get tagged when cleaning??


Thanks for looking!
