WOW that must have hurt like a son-of-a-*****!!!
Sorry that happened but I appreciate your words of wisdom to other owners though. I was bit by my Valentine for the first time awhile ago - my fault - food response bite - she came out of shed and was especially hungry, bit the first thing that came near her face (my finger). I held her tail so she could not wrap...she stayed for about 2 minutes, I was just about to dunk her in water when she went to bite deeper but was able to get my finger out. Needless to say I now feed in tank and she's back to normal. I think I became too comfortable since she has never ever been aggressive and I took that for granted.
Must have been frightening to have been coiled...lucky she's not full grown. I can't imagine how painful that actually was...I found being bit by a ball more annoying/burning pain but the jaws on a rectic...yikes.
Safe future handling and thanks for sharing I LOVE reading/looking at rectics...
