Got Bit!

[Fraido]

Ya it has been my experience the arborial snakes tend to have longer teeth. They don't tear and make you bleed as much but they are the equivalent of hitting about 50 inter-muscular shots of varying depths in the same 6" square area. The muscle aches for a while.

The scrub python that got me was fairly tame for a scrub python. He was just chilling on my arm and shoulders when it happened. He did not strike or hiss. He slowly turned his head and got close enough to my fore arm that his tongue would touch it then for no reason and in what seemed like slow motion he opened his mouth, bit down, released and went back to his normal chill self.

I guess it was his way ofor reminding me that although he was cool with me he could ruin my day if he wanted to.

Talk about pain!

That seems a bit rude of him, he could have gone for a more gentle reminder, don't ya think?
