A minor setback

[Bogertophis]

Ouch. When young any change can be scary for them. I wonder if her new smell set him off?

I was thinking that too...suddenly he felt out-numbered & it scared him.

I got a bite once when I happened to walk in front of a mirror holding a snake that had been doing just fine...apparently the sudden flash of what appeared to be
motion coming from the other side of him made him lash out at me, the one holding him. Just a bit of panic...
