Well from our experience with Brannagh biting (none of the others have bitten, though have occasionally done the "hiss off" jab at us) I can say she just hit and backed off so fast my eye couldn't really follow it. When she bit Mike's bare hand the most damage was from him instinctively pulling his hand back so Brann's teeth dragged over his skin, popping one very tiny tooth out in the process. It was still nothing worse than you might get skinning your hand fixing a car engine or something like that. When she bit me Ithrough the glove) it was barely more than a paper cut type thing and she's a big female. No clamping down or attempt to constrict...just a lightning fast nip and then she backed right off. I figure if that's the worst a pretty aggressive 1,900 gram female will do then the smaller, more nicer natured snakes are just no biggie.
