Just be glad it wasn't a food response bite either. My five footer got me and that's not a quick kiss like what you got, it's a grab, wrap, and hold. You just have to grit your teeth and wait it out until the snake decides to let go.
Shes usually got a firm grip but I always assumed it was because of her size. Shes never been agressive. I usually hold het head with my left hand while most of her body rest aganist mine and held up with my right arm id say the last foot and a half of her sort of wraps around my side. This time it lost grip and she sort of flopped a little so I quickly set her down to re ppsition my hands when I picked her up she struck my arm.
