Interesting retic bite.
So I wanna know what you guys think, especially fellow retic keepers.
So let me start off by saying the point of his is not to talk about being bitten or why it happened. A bite is really no big deal to me I know where I messed up but agin not a big deal to me. Agin this is not to talk about the bite it's self and for that reason I won't post any pictures, but please read on and let me know what you think.
So long story short my reticulated python who is 14ft missed the chicken and grabbed my wrist. So he was in front of me and my forearm was in the position as if I was checking my watch to see what time it was. I looked down and he was looking at my writs while biting. The strange part was while he was holding on to me I watched his eyes slowly look up at me and he slowly let go and backed away, it was a strange moment but a moment it was. Iv worked with many snakes and I have always felt like retics Are much more inquisitive and observant than others. It really did feel like he looked up and realized he made a mistake, more than just missing the chicken.
All that being said I don't think snakes like being held, I think they tolerate it, I don't believe they enjoy sitting on the couch watching tv, maybe it stimulates there senses being held and what not and that's "fun" but I don't really know, but I'm not one to say snakes love there owners ect blah blah blah.
So just a coincidence or more? I'd love to hear from you guys.
