From what I understand, and from reading here, all (or almost all) bites are user error. Got nipped and adjusted how I approach, sound, light and her temperament are all taken into account when I approach now. The lower the activity going on the less stressed and easier to handle (at least for more docile snakes, probably all animals). Best way is to view it as a learning experience with a sharp reprimand from your snake and modify environmental factors and yourself accordingly. Glad to hear you survived your first bite! I was initially wary picking her up again, but after realizing the error was mine not hers helped. She is not scary, she was just scared!
