Re: How to React to a Bite?
If youre bit defensively, dont stop the task you were doing (picking it up, handling, etc). If the snake gets the idea that will make you go away, it will keep doing it. Now if you keep handling after bites and it still persists or gets worse, then look into hooking the snake to remove it from the enclosure. Alot of snakes can be cage defensive but most snakes wont bite once out of their enclosure and in your hands.
