Re: New Milksnake
Ditto on Jim's comments.
Don't let getting bit keep you from handling your snake. Taking an occasional bite is part of having reptiles. Plus, for the most part it's not that bad. More shocking at first than painful. When you go to pick up your snake try to scoop him up from the back or side rather than put your hand in his face. If he does bite you don't put him down. If you go ahead and pick him up anyway he will learn you are not a threat. If you withdraw and do not pick him up after a strike or bite he will quickly learn how to keep you away.
Good luck!
