Benign reptile bites

[columbidae]

Oh Jim, that is terrible! Wow I got bit by a garter snake maybe once or twice before it didn't hurt but yes the blood comes out like nobodies business, in your case especially
Interesting, Though venomous, Brown Dekays rarely bite and their teeth are unlikely to break the skin. Thanks for the information Jim and Simple york. Anyone else willing to share their experience?

As far as I know Storeria Dekayi is non-venomous.

Like SimplyYork mentioned, I handled numerous wild variable ground snakes,night snakes, ringnecks, worm snakes without so much as an attempt to bite at all. Also, I would add that the Black Milk Snake is one of the most docile larger colubrids you could keep.
