Ever been bitten?
So, I'm curious - please post the following with your own answers:
1.) How long have you been keeping snakes?
2.) What is the biggest one you've ever kept (size and species)?
3.) Have you ever been bitten before?
3a.) If yes, how many times have you been bitten?
3b.) If yes, how badly were you bitten?
3c.) If yes, what were the circumstances?
4.) What is your one BEST piece of advice to avoid getting bitten?
I'm curious as to how many keepers have actually been bitten, and what the circumstances were that it happened. Purely for educational and personal curiosity purposes - ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGING.
My responses:
1) 3 years
2) 15ish ft retic
3) yes
3a) I don't know, I try to keep it to a minimum
3b) Not too bad, no teeth were left, just teeth marks
3c) The two worst were a feed response when I opened a cage and a very head defensive snake that accidentally got booped in the nose. Both were around 7-8ft.
4) ALWAYS find the snake first and for the love of good hook train and learn to read their body language.
