Exclamation AGGHHH!!! This really scared me.

While feeding our female Boa today (For the first time) she struck at the rabbitt (fresh killed) and missed, biting herself. I thought she would release but coiled anyway. Needless to say my heart stopped. I was sure I would see blood any minute and a trip to the emergency vet was minutes away. I held my breath as she waited a good five minutes to uncoil. To my great releif there was only a pink spot on her belly, and no visible damage on her skin. This has never happened to me before and I hope it never does again, I don't think I could take it. Wheew, just need to vent a little there, I'm all better now.
