Some dumb jerk got tagged doing sometihng dumb

So, I was moving my 6' female RTB back into her enclosure after she fed in the feed box.

She was looking like she was still in the ambush predator mode. I saw that, recognized it, thought to myself, "I should leave her alone for another hour or so and let her calm down"

Well, patience be damned, I reached in behind her, took her upper middle section and was going for the rest when she grabbed my index finger.

Real good, too. Well, not so good as she had to twist and adjust her grip. And then proceeded to wrap herself around my wrist.

In the middle of unwrapping her off of me, she realized that, indeed, I was not a rat and let go.

That was exciting. That's the second time dumbass got bit doing something dumbass knew he shouldn't.

Well, four hours later, my finger still hurts, but will recover. Let my experience teach all you noobs. However, I guess I didn't learn from other's experience, so, if you must get bit, get bit, just remember, when you do, don't jerk away and wrench at it, go slow and don't panic.

Edit: BTW, for experience's sake, the inside of a snake's mouth feels real weird. And pointy.
