There a two kinds of motorcyclists those that have wrecked and those that will. As such there are also two kinds of snake keepers those that have been bitten and those that will be. Clearly we have been hearing from the latter here. I think many of us loose sight of the fact that our captive bred animals tolerate being handled ( and tolerate is the extent of it they do not enjoy it as a cat or dog does ). This man got caught up in the excitment of the hunt as many before him have and made a bad choice but to say he overreacted to that bite shows that none of you have got bitten like that. And by the looks of things many of you have animals that have the ability to inflict much more damage then that. We are all participating in a dangerous hobby and its when we loose sight of that fact that accidents happen.
