My first bite

[Bogertophis]

I've been preaching for years about keeping snakes away from faces ( and eyes ! ) ... I had a couple of close shaves a few years ago involving King snakes kept in eye-level vivs . Both strikes were at feeding time but I started wearing my reading glasses whenever I opened the sliding glass doors of their vivs.

If I have any doubts about a snake I've put on sunglasses or the clear eye protector goggles I use for power tools, but honestly that is rare for me to do.
I've always wondered if the glasses might also provoke a bite, since they make our eyes look even bigger & perhaps more predatory? But safety first, vision is
pretty important.
