    The only snake that's ever bitten me is my BRB. She got my hand on accident during a feeding strike by completely passing the tongs and rat. The bite itself wasn't much, as she let go pretty quickly, but it turns out I'm allergic to snake saliva…my hand puffed up pretty bad. Haha.

    Re: Worst Bites

    Have only had my two recently and have not been bitten yet. I honestly don't think I will get bitten anytime soon, with how chill they are. Blackout is easily startled, but not at all forward about her fears... she just instantly curls up into a ball.

    Woah! That's quite a coincidental thing to be allergic to, being in the hobby. Not that it's stopping anyone... ahah

    The ironic thing is that I started keeping snakes because I'm also allergic to dogs, cats, and pretty much anything with fur. But you are correct that it's not stopping anyone…although I'm pretty close to getting myself a plastic bubble to live in.
