thats what i thought, mine was having the blue and i was changing his water, i reached in there and i had to move him a little and he just struck me, hes always been docile...i think it was just the blue that caused it due to stress.as for the nile hes always been a devil since i got him....

Working with snakes means getting bit.It's law of averages and It goes with the territory. The longer you keep, and the more you keep the higher the odds of being bit.
I've been bit hundreds of times, by hundreds of herps, but then I've worked with hundreds of the things for years....
Been bit by all the so called tame snakes too.
Ball Pythons, corn snakes,rosy boas,Kenyan sand boas, even Eryx Johnii...everything really except I've yet to be bit by a rubber boa, but I'm sure the day is coming.

Nothing to be proud of, but been bit by snakes and monitors, not to mention cats, Great Danes and horses. Fortunately, no permanent damage. The ability to read the animal, and much faster reflexes, has kept this from happening for some time now.
