Lesson learned.

[Team Slytherin]

I'm looking for longer tongs now. I didn't mention that it was also the first day I've ever been bitten twice. The scrub tagged me on the leg earlier the same day when I took him out to clean his cage. It didn't even break the skin so no harm no foul. The experience with the carpet made me think about feeding a 10-12' scrub or olive python and making sure I'm more mindful going forward.

Oh man, that’s brutal! But he didn’t even break the skin?! He was bluffing because he likes you You’ll appreciate this...haven’t posted about it anywhere because I feel bad. But a director friend asked if he could shoot Apophis for something. I brought all the supplies...gloves, hook, spray bottle. He’s being a perfect gentleman, aside from getting tangled in the camera... tolerates being poked, blinded, positioned for a full hour. After we wrap, my friend asked to hold him and I thought, “sure, of course.” Apophis slithered right up and nonchalantly chomped him!!! I was mortified and pulled him off, but raked my finger against those teeth. Dear LORD, why are they so long?!?
