Did you jump? No matter how prepared I am, my brain won't let me anticipate a bite.

Kingsnakechris · 09-25-12, 01:29 PM

Haha yeah I jumped. Its not the bite its self that gets ya, its the initial shock of how fast it happens

My corn tagged me for the first time during the Pat @ Ravens game... He was on his climb (he is rarely on it) and I was going to change his water as well... Bam! Tagged. I chalked it up to him being a Ravens fan and angry about the officiating in the game

Cornsnakes bite? That's news to me.

I was changing my king's water also on Sunday and as I reached for the bowl, he came over like he always does (he's fascinated by the water - as soon as I put it down he always gets in to check it out and then climbs back out - a quick dip), but instead of doing his usual routine, he lunged for my hand and wrapped himself up around it and wouldn't let go for about 10 minutes, the entire time he was staring me down and wiggling his tail. He never tagged me, but wouldn't let go (he's small - only about 18 inches so not a huge deal).

After 10 minutes he let go and I went and got him a mouse which he proceeded to get so excited about he ate backwards (with much difficulty - legs kept getting hung up). Guess that little trick was his way of saying "Feed Me!!"

"Russel Martin first quarterback in history to throw a game winning interception." it is getting pretty bad. I like how the NFL is trying to control the problem by attacking the wallets of the wrong people lol!

Dude, I feel so bad for him. Is he okay? I haven't seen ANYTHING about his condition. I mean, that could have ended not just his career, but his life as well. So very scary.

Kingsnakechris · 09-25-12, 02:33 PM

They haven't said anything yet, other than "he's in good spirits" but I mean that hit, the crown of the helmet to his face mask knocked him out for a few minutes and there wasn't a single flag. He may very well be done with the NFL. They are staying very quiet about it.
