    I'm just so impressed that you've managed to keep track of all these "vicious attacks"! Do you keep notes & pics of all this trauma?

    As someone that's lived with (WAY) more snakes for 3.5 decades, I haven't a clue how many nips I've thus far survived, but what matters is that NOT ONE was ever of any significance- no infection, no scars, not significantly painful, no actual damage, & certainly it goes without saying, none with venom. Most can be chalked up to raising hatchlings- "What was that? Was that a bite? Are you kidding me?"

    I've had way bigger ouches from friendly playful dogs & cranky parakeets. Snake bites from typical pets just don't amount to much on the "pain & injury" scale- I wish more people realized that. Well that, & the fact that by paying attention & using good "snake manners", most bites are preventable & avoidable.
