Excluding when I was feeding my boa constrictor outside the enclosure, when I got bit quite often. You do a lot of other stuff than open the enclosure doors to feed them (change water, pick up refuse, handle them, etc.), why would they only associate the doors opening with food?

Mistakes do happen, we're only human. But putting a snake in the middle of shed around your neck is a beginner mistake. I don't do that even with my ball python. If I handle them while they're in shed, it's to work their bedding, and they're either put into a bucket, or set on the ground or bed where I can watch them.

It's not about whether or not snakes bite, but how it's being portrayed. Saying snakes bite and you should take the proper precautions is quite different than "hur dur I got bit by my snake how cool is that?" It just doesn't paint us in a very good light, as has been stated several times.

I don't feed them out of the cage just so they don't bite me any other time I reach in. Its become a habit and i'm happy with the way I feed them..I don't have to feed them in their cages...
ok, I don't know why people aren't reading my scenarios correctly, my snake wasn't in shed when she was around my neck, I was just changing her water.
My SECOND photo she got out of shed so i was about to feed her. I never handle them when they are in shed...I didn't post these photos to get a lesson on taking care of my snakes. If I need advice I ask for it.
and for that comment "hur dur I got bit by my snake how cool is that?" thats also a little harsh. read carefully and understand that i'm not trying to be cool here lol. Its just a photo. Damn.
I'm not trying to be rude but its a little disrespectful to me because I'm not doing anything wrong and everyone is assuming I am.
