A little PSA not to even a snake if you're not willing to get bit now and then. And also when to know when it's your fault vs when the animal is being a jerk. In this instance it was my fault. Explanation:
She just ate an hour ago, k went down to check on her and sure she actually ate it instead of just hiding it somewhere(she'll do this sometimes) and she did eat it but I noticed her thermometer was face side down so I figured I'd fix it before bed seeing as she's always been super chill and uncaring of when and how I do or don't bother her. Well I guess she's still in "I'm hungry mode" because as soon as that door opened she was latched to my hand. Yes it hurt. Yes it stings. No it's not that bad. Id take getting bit by her all over again over getting scratched by a car or getting blood drawn tbch.
Lors of people are scared to own snakes because they're fearful of getting bit. I was too when I first got into snakes but that first bite really does teach you "that's not so bad" however there are some exceptions to that rule (not including venomous snakes) that do have wildly painful bites. Judt don't own anything large that you canr handle appropriately and you'll be fine
Pics of the bite and and old picture of the culprit. She's twice the soze now than she was in that pic.
