OMG disaster.

As you said, wild animals can be unpredictable (just when we think we "know" them). So glad it wasn't worse.

Like you, I've done many "meet & greets" with some of my snakes with no incidents ever, but now I have to re-think having multiple snakes out at once, especially
letting others (that are new to snakes) hold them. Not like I have any giant snakes though, & I've certainly never taken any hungry ones. That was just a really
awful accident...4' is "nothing" for snakes that big, what a "wake-up call".

Like I always say. Retics have big bodies, big personalities, and big responsibility. I have rewritten my thoughts on them several times this past year for sure. No regrets on having them though. Love everything about them. I only hope others will learn from my mistakes. Vet visit in 2 hours so will update then.
