Wow!!! First time to know! In the past, I thought the teeth may be strong and firm and thick...Really interesting to know these knowledge! Thank you so much!!
Oh Oh! Cactus spine I'd rather been biten by thicker teeth lol! Yeah mine is a scared baby lol! Hope he will grow out of it~
I don't know why when I take him out, he's calmer than when I put him back to his tub. He's so scared when I put him back and close the tub...I'm always quite slow...
Wow! I should be careful when feeding lol! Your woma is so cute lol！ He recognizes it's you not mouse haha. Do you use hook to touch them before grab them? I find many people do hook training here but I haven't.

Anti-coagulant is usually a venom component. Bleeding is usually because bites consist of a bunch of punctures, and are usually on or near your hands, which have plenty of circulation, especially when the surprise of a bite gives your blood pressure a jolt.

The snakes most likely to bite, IMO, are scared babies. Which is usually not a big deal, and with gentle, consistent care and handling they grow out of it.

Then there’s the bites that are mostly human-caused, where the snakes
* aren’t handled consistently
* aren’t handled respectfully - startled, handled roughly, not supported, etc. Grumpy while in shed is a small sub-section, as sometimes handling while in shed has to happen
* feeding accidents - like the time I reached into my Woma python’s enclosure on feeding night for another group of snakes. He could smell food, sense warm thing in his enclosure, and went for it, then let go in confusion - Hey! That’s not my mousie!
