Gosh, is this a memory test or what? I've been at this a long time, but no serious bites ever, & certainly none with venom. Mostly nips on hands from raising
neonates & hatchlings. A few managed to reach a forearm I guess. The most memorable was right on the bridge of my nose, in a reptile shop, when I was
handed a shoebox with an adult king snake inside: as the box was opened, he sailed right to my nose, causing very impressive bleeding (the bridge of your
nose has no "padding") & well-justified teasing of the owner* of the shop (about a 'lawsuit') before I actually went on to buy the snake- he was a mate for my
female at home, & it wasn't his fault that when that box was opened, "normally" a mouse was thrown in. (*I won't name names....some of you would know
him, I'm sure, though this was many years back- he was well-known in the business. Anyway, it's always great to shop with a bloody Kleenex held on one's
nose...good for business, right? As you can see, I survived, I held no grudges & the snake calmed down and fathered some great offspring.
