I think that my pet store incident was very preventable, but also think the store owner/mgr. thought it was funny, & he HAD to have known the snake would do that just as it had done whenever they fed him. The friend I was there with had been there many times & knew him well, but it was my first time in the store (it was several hours drive from where I lived) & the store specialized in exotic reptiles which in the past had given him & his staff some noteworthy wounds & "stories" as well.
