Certainly didn't feel good but in all honesty, not quite as bad as I would have expected. It was mostly how she was pulling back with her head while her teeth were sunk deep into my forearm that caused the most discomfort. You know, how they kind of pull their head in the opposite direction of their coils a lot of the time to latch their teeth in better? That was the part that sucked the most but it was more the initial "oh s***! She's got me!" that made it seem worse in the moment. Once she established that she was hanging on for a min I just kind of accepted it and stayed calm waiting for her to let go. The blood in the pic makes it look way more gnarly than it was. Needless to say I would not be thrilled about this happening when she's 2-3' longer and weighs 2-3x as much.Originally Posted by Snoopyslim
Like you said, never be "too comfortable" and even if you are, don't take that for granted. On a long enough timeline everyone gets bit eventually. Par for the course if you're going to be a lifelong snake keeper
