I just landed my first bite, what are proper reactions

Scream bloody murder, then go hide in a closet... jkg!

First, about that phrase "pulled her out"- you can easily cause internal injuries to a snake by "pulling" them, because we are SO much bigger & stronger, & when
focused on our goal, it's easy to forget that. A bite is what you deserved, & for best results in the future, don't suddenly swoop after your snake like a predator,
give them time to recognize you using your scent & touch, then gently pick them up from underneath...the more you try to force a snake & the tighter you try to
hold it's head for "bite prevention" the more likely you are to get bit...& you should too, IMO. It doesn't have to happen at all.

Handling a new snake that is terrorized already by essentially being abducted by aliens & put into a whole new world it has never seen before was not the right
move on your part. You really earned that bite...congrats. Slow down & grow some empathy...you can avoid nearly ALL bites that way...seriously! Success
with snakes means understanding how THEY feel in any given situation, not about forcing your will on them, which is what predators do before they EAT them.
Any wonder your snake bit you??? It's called "self defense".

That could have been much worse with your dog there...I'm SO glad (for the snake) that it wasn't. Now you know that a corn snake bite is no big deal...but you
have done NOTHING so far to reassure that frightened little snake you just brought home. You have lots of room for improvement...please let the snake settle
in for a couple weeks without handling (this is recommended for ALL new snakes) and until they have fed easily for you (at normal intervals) several times, then
rested (digest for a couple days) before any further interaction. Hopefully your snake will get a better impression of you next time.
