Any time one feels that an eye bite is a possibility, wearing glasses or safety goggles or even one of these eye-shields that all the best COVID-preventers are wearing is a darn good idea.
Right! I always keep my enclosures just a hair below chest level so I can see down into them and now have to worry about getting popped in the face. If I have to lean over I always put a piece of glass (aka the door) in front of me and the snake just to be safe. Only been tagged on the hands but I'd prefer not to have a fun story to tell my wife
